Peacewarts: Living Roots 101 - Orientation & Soil as a Peace Treaty (Class 1)

We descend into the Greenhouse to introduce the Law of Return. This class focuses on the historical cause-and-effect chain between soil health and social stability, examining Mesopotamian salinization, the American Dust Bowl, colonial monocultures, and modern fertilizer dependency. 

Homework:

1. Interrupt your routine – wait, maybe this has non become your routine… Look up the "Dust Bowl" and  "Human Displacement."
2. Write down one question you have about how food scarcity impacts local peace, or anything about this episode. If no question comes to mind, write: "no question."
3. Optional: Journal for five minutes about where your calories come from. Do they come from a local "Law of Return" system, or an extractive "Monoculture" system?

Learning Topics:

1. The Law of Return (Anti-Extraction)
2. Mesopotamian Salinization & Systemic Collapse
3. The Dust Bowl as a Displacement Driver
4. Colonial Monocultures vs. Soil Health
5. Synthetic Fertilizer Dependency
