I know "grow a garden" isn't necessarily a realistic suggestion for a lot of people, but you might be able to advocate for a community garden in your city, or talk to your neighbors about setting up a shelf someplace where people can swap their extra food.

capitalism really does function by limiting the human imagination - no other explanation why so many climate collapse understanders believe that private property rights will somehow survive a situation in which vasts parts of the Earth become unlivable

We need to build Garden World Advocacy and Research (GWAR)

We're gonna need roughly 10-15 million people to get really into plant breeding and crop research asap. Academia cannot possibly contain or organize the scale of scientific inquiry that will be necessary to meet this crisis.

Plants say spring is here! 🌱 About 190 million Americans have experienced an earlier-than-normal spring leaf-out, based on the behavior of lilac and honeysuckle. Leaves emerged 30 to 50 days earlier than normal near the Rockies and in parts of the Plains, breaking records.

The coming famine will not be survived by those who retreat to little homesteads & bunkers. The future belongs to collaboration, cooperation, to the commune. Example: Communal kitchens are more efficient than everyone cooking alone. Don't hoard, share. earthboundfarm.substack.com/p/canteens

@FoodForestNetwk *is being done Freudian slip, because this is all hypotheticals and nothing will actually be done. Consumerism will die, though, on the bright side. Too bad it will die with society. And probably us, depending on how long the west can insulate itself from the effects.

@FoodForestNetwk We would still suffer climate change collapse unless everyone stopped wearing clothes and using electricity. We need to ensure we can produce what is needed to run a modern society, we simply are not going to be able to sell per-industrial poverty to the masses. Ever.

@havokcel what if we don't do either of those things because we reduce the frivolous energy usage required for endless wars and mass consumerism and instead redistribute wealth to achieve communal luxury with appropriate technology?

@FoodForestNetwk You said that private property rights won't survive. That either means state seizure or violent theft, both of which are types of force. What other plan do you have for erasing private property?

@RioSlade depends a lot on where she's located, what kinda space there is etc. Nitrogen fixing corn was only recently shown to be a thing and has loads of potential, check out Experimental Farm Network. Okra (especially for seed oil) has lots of potential as a climate resilient crop

@elaifresh who said anything about relying on fossil fuel infrastructure? the idea that opposing nuclear means supporting fossil fuels is nonsense, the same argument is used in support of natural gas and every fuel source that isn't the dirtiest coal we could also just use less energy

@FoodForestNetwk The only alternative to private property rights is bloodshed. Both are inevitable. The question is how much of one you will tolerate, and thus how much of the other you must withstand.
