When I read EO’s post about Chocolate, I started to think about the many exotic foods I eat on a daily basis. In America, it has become so normalized to see foods that are grown around the world in all different seasons at the grocery store every day. Some of my favorite foods: mangoes, coffee, avocados, and chocolate are things that only a few centuries ago, people living in the Pacific Northwest wouldn’t have even known to exist.
While preparing for the contemplative practice on chocolate, I was amazed that the cacao farmers in the video had never tasted chocolate and didn’t even know what their crop was being used to make.
Once, when I was in Mexico, I visited an avocado farm where they were being grown to export to the United States. Earlier in the day, I had been to a market where they were selling apples from Washington. Then, I went to a coffee shop where the beans had been grown in Guatemala. It amazes me how globalized the food system is and how normal it seems to most people.

Many experts are calling for a switch to a localized agricultural system. Whenever possible, I try to shop at my local farmer’s market and support small organic farms, but I wonder what would happen to the many farmers in the developing world that have adopted cash crops to export to industrialized countries.
Farmers in Central America are already facing challenges due to climate change, and I fear that a reduction in demand for exotic foods would exacerbate their problems.
Certainly, localized agriculture would reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, food miles, and water grabs, but I think that sustainable development and eradicating poverty will do more for climate change than anything.

Ліга чемпіонів 2024/25 https://cvd.vn.ua/archives/62257 зазнає значних змін, зокрема збільшення кількості команд до 36 та матчів до 189. Замість традиційного групового етапу кожна команда проведе вісім матчів проти різних суперників, що забезпечить більш захоплюючі та різноманітні зустрічі. У новому форматі також буде змінено розклад, а кваліфікація передбачатиме додаткові місця для команд з Італії та Німеччини. Ці зміни нададуть більше можливостей для клубів та вболівальників, але також можуть призвести до перевантаження гравців. Фінал турніру відбудеться 21 травня 2025 року в Мюнхені на стадіоні “Альянц Арена”.

Сер Джим Реткліфф, який очолює команду з регенерації стадіону, підтримує ідею нового проекту, що може вміщувати до 100,000 глядачів та включати сучасні технології для покращення умов для глядачів і гравців. Однак думки вболівальників розділилися: деякі вважають, що варто реконструювати Олд Траффорд, а інші підтримують будівництво нового стадіону як крок у майбутнє клубу.
