Last year, Costa Rica was named the happiest country in the world

… One of the reasons why Costa Rica is at the top of the index is that people live long lives in a simple and sustainable way.

The country is one of the “blue zones” of the world—which means a kind of region where the inhabitants live longer than the rest of their fellow citizens in similar economic conditions and where they live even longer than the people of developed countries[2].

Besides Costa Rica, there are four more blue zones in the world

You seem to have a problem with crop planting in Costa Rica. Doesn't make much sense to me since history (primarily through the efforts of American hero Norman Borlaug) has proven that genetically engineered crops are good for the environment. The increased yields require less land, less tilling, less fertilizer, less pesticides, and less herbicides, so the ecosystem is less impacted. More food, lower prices, and a healthier environment/ecosystem come from this type of agriculture. Sounds like something you should support. Unfortunately, people fear the things they don't understand.
