Agriculture is key to socialism. It's the productive forces.

There's a lot of issues,a lot of breaking news, a lot of history, including socialist history.

Agriculture has its technical aspects and its political aspects (like collectivisation).

Socialists like Fidel Castro were obsessed with agriculture. Like if Fidel Castro walked into the room right now he'd probably talk for hours about yields and bovine genetics and things like that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro_and_dairy

    Access and land tenure are also some of the greatest issues being faced by a large amount of people in the Global South. Land, food, and agriculture are my chosen area of struggle because of how basic they are to life and how deep you can go on it.

    It makes sense, you can do almost anything with agriculture. Grow food? Obviously. Grow fuel? No problem. Grow industrial materials like plastic and rubber? A breeze. Grow infrastructure materials like wood and paper? Easy peasy. Medicine? Since the beginning of time.

    There's very little that humans need for modern society that can't be grown by a plant just by giving it some dirt, nutrients, and the sun, and I'm sure if we spent the time on it we could figure out lots of other things too. The planet literally runs off sunlight. Humanity should too, and could easily with research and good sustainable land management.
