Over the millennia, every region on Earth has developed its own successful agricultural ecosystem from flat fields of grain and mountainside rice terraces to coastal fish farms and goat herding. Today, we’re going to break down agricultural systems into three scales: subsistence, small-scale, and industrial agriculture. And we’ll take a look at how a place’s history plays a huge role in the system we see today as we follow the story of agriculture in the Philippines.

Animal agriculture is the leading cause of habitat destruction and climate change. Stop supporting the destruction of our planet and the cruelty/exploitation of non-human animals.
This video series really helped me in understanding the "real world" further
Great video and really insightful. Food scarcity is a real global problem considering that we’re the masters of agriculture. We need better ways to protect workers and less politics around food
Does ground water irrigation spoil the soil with the salts in the water?
Genuinely surprised no mention of drip irrigation. Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface. The goal is to place water directly into the root zone and minimize evaporation. It was invented in Israel
Hey, yogyakarta! My hometown!
Please produce crash course Data Science.
Dole, the better snack
thank you for the comprehensive video
I really like some previous topic are used in this topic
Ayo, I'm from the Philippines!
Very interesting topic and series
Be respectful, be vegan. ✌
I'd love to see stuff on vertical farming and other new stuff
i'll never stop freaking out about that industrial farm area/labor camp in southern spain that you can see from space
lighten the load on the global trade system by giving people the free time to grow their own. No more evictions from primary residences!!!
I'd die if I got transported back 400 years. I have 0 ability to supply food for myself, I'm dependent on stores.
Kind of overlooks the benefits of agrobusiness. Mainly it is much more efficient and therefore requires less land use (no more clearing forests) and less human labor freeing citizens up to pursue something other than subsistence farming
I've only just noticed the leafy blouse! Epic
I often think about the exploitation of labour workers involved when I'm buying produce. I try to buy local even if it's more expensive. Thanks for doing a video like this.
Really well put together and insightful video like always, cheers!
Eye opening video!
Agronomy is the name of this study I believe
This one definitely going into my watch later folder
FOOD IS NOT CHEAPER WITH CORPORATIONS!
Crash course needs to do a video about Ecosia the purpose movement.
Sixth
I'd love to learn all about American wheat production vs. Wheat production everywhere else. Also, I'm now curious about all things rice production. Since I work at Starbucks it'd also be interesting to learn more about coffee production and the future of its production
Slave labor
produce food? (beatboxes a tray of sushi into reality)
First 4 views and first comment, congrats to anyone who has seen this early comment
LOL thanks smh I always asked myself this question but never done further research
Well hello there 😉
