It is a grave error to not value natural capital on par with other forms of capital.
Saw a write up about the benefits of expatriating to the Middle East. Many good points were made, but there was zero analysis of natural capital.
"There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from the grocery, and the other that heat comes from the furnace." - Aldo Leopold
In the UK we have fantastic natural capital that the government are ‘rewilding’. Disgusting.
Do we need wild places? Hell yeah we do, as much as we can spare.
Here's the kicker, though. Those wild spaces. an produce food too.
Modern conventional ag is hell bent on removing nature from the production at all costs. Policymakers are hell bent on letting land go fallow at all costs.
Both are wrong.
Absolutely correct sir.
