A flyer for episode 83 of the Feed Podcast with quote from Ken Giller: "We want to be clear in our messaging. But what that tends to do is that it hides all of the nuance in the debates, and we come out with sort of black and white answers. And of course, science isn't about yes or no. Science is about engaging with complexity, and I think particularly in the area of food systems. I mean, it's very big, big term. But if take it down to the agricultural end, the production end, where I do most of my work, then we tend to be talking about value judgments about farming. We wrote this paper about conventional agriculture. What's conventional agriculture? It's become a weaponized term where people use it to show the alternative. They're promoting their alternative. It's regenerative, it's organic, it's agroecological."

„De preparaten worden steeds vaker aanbevolen voor uitgeputte bodems in Afrika en Azië. Kleine boeren (…) worden blij gemaakt met een dooie mus en als hun oogst mislukt, wacht de honger.” @kengiller.bsky.social
