Description
Agroecology is the doctrine by which humanity wages war on soil under the guise of reverence for nature. The more grand the ideals, the more farmers wade through mud, casting themselves as test subjects for the latest techno-solutions. Under the banner of sustainability, they till and toil, dreaming of a circular society while their machinery churns endless circles in the earth.
Definitions

- A commercial venture that honors biodiversity only to cultivate the most marketable species.
- A hobby claiming to heal the soil, yet reliant on subsidies as its performance-enhancing drug.

Narratives

- Alongside rice paddies, fenced-off test plots marketed as eco-parks have become local attractions.
- In lecture halls, flashy biodiversity theories stand next to yield statistics, resembling a gathering of a new cult.
- Producers ‘orchestrate’ crop diversity to secure subsidies, and once the money arrives, they load the harvest onto trucks with odd satisfaction.
