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!

A recent study warned that if we hit 2°C warming, the uninhabitable zone could triple in size.
