In Turkije heeft elke burger recht op een stuk grond om te bewerken vanuit de staat hoorde ik pas.
Dat is pas echte democratie.
Het overgrote deel van de landbouw in de wereld is tot dusver gelukkig nog steeds biologisch.
De documentaire A farm for the future vind ik in dit verband ook erg inspirerend:

In the 1930s, farmers rapidly plowed-up the grasslands of the southern Plains and planted wheat in its place
With millions of acres of plowed fields and a chronic drought, winds picked up the soil creating thick clouds of dust called “black blizzards,” which covered the region in an unprecedented years-long “storm”
The Dust Bowl film chronicles the events of this manmade disaster, including interviews with 26 survivors who describe in vivid detail how the dust-filled winds could easily blister your face and carried with them an indescribable feeling of evil

Allan Savory: How to green the world's deserts and reverse climate change "Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.
