    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.

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

The data center boom is running into serious real-world obstacles, from widespread local opposition and permitting delays to a scramble for electricity. Before those challenges even come into play, though, there’s a more basic problem: A lot of the projects being announced may never get built in the first place. With billions of dollars in AI infrastructure investment at stake, separating realistic projects from speculative ones is becoming increasingly important.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, hosts Rebecca Bellan and Tim De Chant are joined by Brent Nelson, senior managing director of markets and strategy at Ascend Analytics, to separate the data center projects that are likely to get built from the ones that may never get off the ground.

It’s been a big month so far for American politics and the tech industry. Democrats deliver a sweeping win across the country, calling continued AI development into question.
