  • This puts 2025 as the second worst harvest on record, according to an analysis of the Defra figures by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU).

    It comes as the second poor harvest in a row after 2024, which saw heavy rain the preceding winter hitting production of key crops including wheat and oats.

    Three of the worst harvests on record have now been seen this decade, with 2020 seeing the worst year and 2024 now bumped into third worst place, the ECIU said.



  • If we are to ever become an enlightened species, it’s important to understand that this, too, is part of humanity. Humans commit terrible atrocities, and it’s in our nature to do so. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” and all that. How can we overcome this as a species and become the caretakers our planet needs? I think the theory behind capitalism was to say “greed is good” and try to make a system that was fair. Spoiler alert, it didn’t work. Maybe we need a new capitalism-like idea that looks at humanity’s attributes and tendencies and tries to incorporate them into a Good Thing somehow. Definitely what we’re doing today across the board isn’t working.
