Tracing longer histories in Costa Rica around import substitution, @ALeonaraya posits substitution as an index for passive revolution where everything changes only to remain the same.

this article by @akshattuck, @MWerner2010 and others is incredibly relevant: shows how global pesticide use *continues to increase* (contrary to @FAO analysis). also, how it was understimated for lower income countries. https://t.co/uVRB8FgYqc
