Lecturer in Geopolitics @King's College London; interested in the history of geopolitical thought, territory and environmental politics. Erstwhile @Univesity of Groningen
Did agronomists dream of soilless geopolitics? In their new EJIR article, @antoniofdo.bsky.social and Maarten Meijer excavate the international history of hydroponic geopolitics in the mid-twentieth century.

Delighted to share this EJIR paper, co-authored with my brilliant friend Maarten Meijer.
We track the story of how hydroponics triggered connected geopolitical fantasies before and after 1945, from the Pacific to Israel and Bengal.
Hope it's a good read!
