he wasted two weeks. i wasted 18 months. not africa. cambodia. contract with the fao under world health org. pesticide use had contaminated soil. taught them alternative pesticides (tobacco, chillis and soap). brought in tons of grain - resistant grasses, grains and legumes. spent two seasons teaching them the basics of planting through to growth cycles and harvest methods. how to categorize and store. how to keep records. how to maximize yield. 18 months. left in july. by the time it hit september they had used all the grain to ferment hooch and flooded their fields in the hopes it would fill with fish and frogs, which you 'harvest' by poisoning the water, collecting the corpses and leaving to dry in the sun under a layer of insecticide to keep the flies off. primitive people are primitive for a reason. fucking morons out there with their 'but muh imperialisms and colonialisms of wypipo' have zero idea what it takes to get them out of the stone age. it's safe to assume all civilizations operate to the peak of their ability, it just so happens than a 30iq tribal community has a peak that tops out at anything more than thinking ten minutes ahead.
