Land grab, in this context, means no longer paying a farmer government subsidies for the land.
It’s paywall… so I’ll make an educated guess that I’m supposed to be directing my internet scorn at farmers right now.
They really would see the whole thing burn to the ground if they thought they’d make money out of it short-term wouldn’t they. I’ve news for them, there is an entire generation of young people growing up as we speak and they are scared shitless of climate change and what it means for their future, billions of people all across the globe, and when their time in power comes they won’t give two fucks about what farmers or anyone else thinks, big fucking changes are coming.
