IMO in agriculture collapse happened early in Covid with food supplies and processors going n/a. Partly climate, partly covid-related (b/c the processors -- e.g.; mills, slaughter houses couldn't stay staffed.), partly Monsanto et al lock-in costs too much.
At my locale food production is pivoting to regenerative ag, local sales to markets/restaurants, new small mills and processors, generally more social activity like weekend music-art-food events. Net positive?
@b4cks4w Oh, those are some fascinating net positives. Thanks for sharing them! Not an easy question, but I love that answer. I suspect we'll see a lot more hyper-regional solutions in the coming years - & so the real trick will be maintaining the best of our global networks through the coming shift, both to optimize local practices via ongoing shared knowledge, & to hold more extreme regionalist & nationalist mentalities at bay, even if we're spending more time thinking & acting closer to home.
