Despite a ceasefire, the Iran war will continue to affect farmers' costs and therefore food prices.

    We really need to figure out fertilizers that don’t depend on petroleum at scale

      Using sewage combined with industrial waste streams isn’t the best alternative either. Which is something they do. The pfas contamination gets all the attention on that, but there can be a lot of things n there besides just pfas.

      One wouldn’t think we would do something so incredibly dumb, and or malicious as it amounts to purposefully poisoning the food supply, but we do, and no one cares.
