    Urban pollution and massive over consumerism by the WEF/UB/EU overlord wannabes is the root cause you are fumbling for. Private farmers are stewards of the land. Ag corporations fall under the overlord wannabe heading and should be addressed. Just leave farmers and small businesses alone already. Get rid of the politicians (90% of them or more) that are the beneficiaries and drivers of the problem for a good start.

    It is to assign pre selected Big agriculture elites within chosen regions to control food water land and air. He who controls the elements necessary for sustaining life , controls the people and narrative while enriching the elite 2% . Truth . Leave our farmers alone. Greedy people🎉

    🌍 Empower small-scale farmers! 🌾
    Solution:
    🔍 Provide better tools, climate resilience, market access.
    🌍 They feed millions, uplift economies, yet lack resources.
    💫 Unlock their potential to nourish humanity while caring for the planet.

    !I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks will be appreciated!!

    Crop insurance etc. are all good ideas. Beyond this investments in watershed restoration to address floods and droughts is critical.
