zhlédnutí 52Před 14 dny
Knowing what is best for your farming business, biodiversity, and the climate can feel impossible. Farmers and crofters in Scotland are feeling the effects of climate change.

    I still cannot figure out how this helps me in any fashion. I can see the cattle... I can read the tag. How can this be implemented to actually benefit me? It seems that it does nothing more than I can do with a pencil and a pocket notebook. At a MUCH higher cost.

    Security Theater: Definition: Practices that appear to enhance security but do little to improve it. Examples: Airport security (shoe removal, liquid limits), visible police presence (patrols, random checks), and superficial ID checks. Characteristics: Symbolic actions that reassure without real security, divert resources from effective measures, and create an illusion of safety. Criticism: Ineffective, leading to complacency and false security; costly with minimal benefits; causes public stress and inconvenience. Purpose and Impact: Reassures the public, deters minor threats, and demonstrates action and control. Conclusion: Calms fears but lacks effectiveness, wasting resources and misleading the public. Control Theories: Government Control: Increased surveillance, conditioning public to accept control. Economic Gain: Benefits security firms, boosts security sector, supports World Economic Forum (WEF) supports reducing meat production Political Motives: Manipulates fear to control public, distracts from other issues. Social Engineering: Conditions behavior, normalizes surveillance. False Sense of Security: Prevents demand for real measures, maintains order through perceived safety.

    I would love to see more fruit trees on farms and generally across the countryside in Scotland. Even if not on the scale of agri-forestry, but having some apples, pears, cherries or plums among the oak, rowan and birch of native forestry schemes, for example. The farmer could take advantage of fruit for home or local consumption with the windfall left for nature over the autumn and wintertime.
