Agriculture / agroecologie
English term or phrase: From fuck to fart
It is clear that agroecology provides people with an opportunity to strengthen their identity. All indicates that agroecology goes beyond production and is in fact, a holistic system that goes, “from fuck to fart.”

de la fécondation du bétail au biogaz émis
Explanation:
"Agricultural input companies are the stout first links in the Industrial Food Chain. Although
ministers of agriculture talk up “field-to-fork” policies, industry knows the reverse is more
2accurate: the retail and processor demands drive agricultural inputs—from “fork to field.” While
accepting that the driver in the industrial system has been the “fork”, climate negotiators realize
that the chain needs lengthening, from the crop and livestock genomics at the front end to the
GHG emissions caused by fossil fuels, fertilizers, and methane at both ends—or as it was
recently described to me, from “fuck to fart.” Innovation, for the Industrial Food Chain, begins at the wrong point. The bottom line is that the innovative capacity of the agricultural input
companies is limited by their own oligopolistic market and by the unwillingness of the other end
of the chain to tolerate change."
