Decolonizing the Plate
🌾
Definition
The agricultural practice of growing a single crop over a large area, often leading to soil depletion and ecological imbalance.
Interpretation
The loneliness of land. Monoculture extracts more than it gives, depleting soil, biodiversity, and resilience. It reflects a mindset of domination — not relationship. A dangerous simplicity. Monoculture may be efficient for machines, but not for life. It erases diversity, invites disease, and extracts without giving. It’s a symptom of short-term thinking.
Living Invitation
Look at your plate. Is it a monoculture? How might you invite diversity — in food, in thought, in story? Look around your meals or surroundings. Where is monoculture creeping in? Replace one single-source habit with a diverse, local option.
