Colonisation française de l’Algérie
🔴 L’accaparement colonial de la terre en Algérie a détruit des modes d’organisation et de gestion de la terre en commun. Le développement des monocultures et d’une agriculture d’exportation a aussi bouleversé l’environnement.

Thanks!

That #DEI rollback thing is going to have some other unexpected consequences for the #MAGA crowd.

Businesses with a #monoculture end up missing so many clues that a diverse *and* included workforce provides. DEI is more than just an issue of #fairness & #morality it is a business value. Companies like #Coscto have made that clear. Fortunately for me I'm in a company that thinks like Costco. I'm not in the group that would be excluded, I need that group to help us succeed.

Food Forests in Permaculture: An In-Depth Guide

Discover how to create a food forest—an abundant, sustainable ecosystem mimicking natural forests. Learn about planning, layers, and benefits.

July 26, 2024

"The concept of food forests is deeply rooted in history, with ancient practices found in various cultures around the world. Traditional forest gardens have been practiced for centuries in regions such as Southeast Asia, Africa, and Central America. These systems were developed by indigenous peoples who recognized the benefits of integrating trees, shrubs, and other plants to create sustainable food production systems.

"One of the earliest examples of a food forest is found in the ancient Mayan civilization, where forest gardens were an integral part of their agricultural system. These gardens included a variety of fruit trees, medicinal plants, and other useful species arranged in a way that mimicked the natural forest structure​.

"In modern times, the principles of food forests were popularized by permaculture pioneers like Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the late 20th century. They advocated for the use of natural systems and processes to create sustainable agricultural practices. Today, food forests are recognized as a vital component of permaculture and are being implemented worldwide to promote food security, biodiversity, and ecological health​."

We probably even should , as the conventional #monoculture #farming methods are proven to damage the environment, health & result in other problems.

#Vegetarian & #vegan #diets are not traditional in the west (other than for the poor who simply could not afford meat etc.), but have been for a long time in other regions:

Many people are living self-sufficient from their #gardens, they give plenty, storing is the key :)

From @ethanz: 〝Often, we optimise ourselves into single points of failure. […] When systems are critical to the functioning of society, we might insist that they are redundant and independent of one another, so that if one fails, others might carry on.〞
