Climate Change got you down? Worried about the fact that *everything* seems to be getting worse? Wondering how we got to this point in the first place, and what can we do to build a more resilient future? We take a look at historical pastoral & agricultural societies to see what worked and what didn’t, as well as what resources we have today to make better decisions to build equitable systems. We don’t just discuss ecology and history but also take a leftist perspective on prepping, foraging, homesteading, weapons, community-building, and basically anything that needs discussing during late-stage capitalism.

In this episode, we dive into the non-profit world that dictates African agricultural policy. What is AGRA, where did it come from, who is funding it, and how are they doing it? In the second part, we take a look at some of the more sinister actions to control food production in Africa and the responses from some of the indigenous farmers.
