“Unable to afford the fertilizers and pesticides that 20th-century agriculture had taken for granted, the country faced extreme weather events and a limit to the land and water it could use to grow food.”
What a moronic and tortured sentence. And what a pathetic attempt to insert “climate change” into the discussion.
The “extreme weather” came about as a result of no chemicals!!
What was the old Soviet joke about 75 years of bad weather to explain poor harvests.
