Wist niet dat dit ook al bestond: kwekerijen voor octopussen?!
Tijdens lezen gaan haren overeind op in alle 8 m'n armen

Wat als...
octopussen ook benen hadden om kwekerijen te bouwen waar mensen gekweekt worden als voedsel voor....?

Sorry, m'n hoofd wordt soms baldadig bij 't zien van dit soort berichten
Waarom niet energie steken in aardappels, graan, bonen etc kweken? Teveel en de hard werk?

Farmer "preferred profit and commercial interest over the environment."

The owner of Treetops Estate Pty Ltd has been fined $84,000 for illegal land clearing — much less than the $2.2 million it would have cost him if he had obtained a permit for the work. The farmer was convicted over clearing 112 hectares of bushland.

"The clearing significantly reduced high-value remnant vegetation and the habitat of 18 species of native birds, including three of conservational significance: peregrine falcon, purple-gaped honeyeater and black-chinned honeyeater." >>

Just had a great conversation with @leogaggl and @lynnfoster about value flows, recipes, cooperation, MRV, OFN, DFC and more! Another aspect of the fediverse, and especially social.coop, that I have come to relish and count on.

The @soilbiome lab has always been a joy to work with over the years!

I have been slow to post some of the projects I've worked on with them because I am allergic to social media 🤣 but late is better than never!
