Q&A after
Come to Coventry to this local cafe which is showing Fires and Fascism tonight! See how people are fighting back to create change.
In the film you'll see how locals in Portugal uprooted the highly flammable eucalyptus plantations, among other direct resistance actions to big business, capitalism, and the far right. The monocultures were replaced with trees much more suitable for the region.
Speaking of trees: in the local area, the work by the "Tree Amigos" and the Tree Sanctuary shows amazing community spirit! Come down to talk about what else is going on, and how any fears around the far right can be countered by community action and organisation.

You might want 2 add the #PotatoeFamine hashtag.
Only due to this new crop which originates in #Peru, was the #IrishPopulationExplosion possible: from approximately 2 million in 1700 to 8.5 million by 1845.
The algae (#PhytophthoraInfestans) that caused successive crop failures of the imported #Monoculture staple diet, led 2 a #PotatoDisease called #LateBlight. It originated in the #Toluca Valley in 🇲🇽 and spread from the 🇺🇸 2 🇮🇪.

[Pardon, mais 😂]
Trop de choux-fleurs et pas de clients, les légumiers de France rencontrent une crise « catastrophique »
Les producteurs de poireaux, de potimarrons ou de carottes subissent depuis plusieurs mois les conséquences d’une météo tempétueuse et de températures printanières en plein hiver. Certains agriculteurs croulent sur des légumes en surnombre, quand des fruiticulteurs craignent de devoir arracher leurs arbres.
The NT: In them old cotton fields back home
"Incoming Northern Territory Administrator David Connolly has apologised over his trove of divisive past social media posts, a day before he is formally sworn-in."
"Mr Connolly's past commentary has been labelled variously as sexist, racist, transphobic, homophobic and bigoted by various groups including the Northern Land Council (NLC), the Country Women's Association NT and the Aboriginal Peak Organisations of the NT (APONT)." >>

Image: The 'wide open spaces' of the NT populated with cotton. As far as the eye can see a "third-world crop" or a critical commodity for developing nations.
