I found this NYT article ("Sorry, but this is the future of food") to be very problematic. For starters, Grunwald misrepresents the situation in Sri Lanka and their so-called organic experiment. See @nethmisachy.bsky.social & I's article for a different perspective: news.mongabay.com/2022/08/draw...

A Sri Lankan village was offered help from the UN’s Green Climate Fund – now they feel misled - Land and Climate Review New research looked at an adaptation project funded by the World Bank & UNFCCC-run Green Climate Fund. Instead of helping farmers, it helped their corporate partners.

The article uses a political ecology of agriculture framework to shed light on how Sri Lanka’s ban on chemical fertilizers impacted the dietary diversity and food security levels of disrupted conventional and long term organic tea farmers.
