    The problem here is with strawberry monoculture. Big ag has been lying for years that their ways are more productive, and so we have huge stretches of the same stuff. Turns out huge stretches of the same stuff is not good for anyone - not for the plants that are not made to live in monocultures. Not for the workers whose bodies were not made for eight hours of doing the same, not for the soil that thrives on diversity.

    So if we could move away from monoculture in anything - social structure, city building, work setup … why insist in 100 ha of maize and 8 hours of doing the same when we already know that these concepts don’t work.
