Weeds and Wilding

The agricultural and other plant-related industries are turning to weeds to help them survive the climactic shift we're living through right now.

Temperature and weather patterns are shifting as more heat is trapped within our global energetic system, and that's sparking all sorts of havoc, rapidly rearranging our expectations and raising concerns about how we're going to adjust to an ever-changing, unclear future.

One of the prime goals of the agricultural world for most of recent human history has been developing really wonderful, hardy foods that are also fairly resistant to many of today's pests, weather issues, and similar threats.

This has resulted in monocultures of plants that function reliably well within today’s environmental norms, but which struggle if any component of that context shifts—which is increasingly the defining element of our day-to-day lives (and the climactic systems that inform plant growability, as well).
