Call it "Zen and the Art of Farming" or a "Little Green Book", Masanobu Fukuoka's manifesto about farming, eating, and the limits of human knowledge presents a radical challenge to the global systems we rely on for our food.

Un univers sans projet – L'une des plus grandes révolutions scientifiques des 150 dernières années a probablement été l'idée que l'ensemble de l'Univers – y compris l'univers vivant qui nous entoure et nous inclut – a émergé et évolué en dehors de tout projet, de toute intentionnalité et de toute finalité à partir d'interactions aléatoires entre les composants élémentaires de la matière. Depuis son origine, ce que nous nommons la vie se déploie sur notre planète en l'absence de tout plan préexistant.

Genetics and lifestyle are thought to be the two most important determinants of good health. But that is not the whole story. We have a second genome, our gut bacteria, that sets the dial on our bodies. Unlike our DNA, we can influence the gut bacteria, or microbiota, to optimize all aspects of our health.

When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that "the science is settled." In reality, the long game of telephone from research to reports to the popular media is corrupted by misunderstanding and misinformation. Core questions - about the way the climate is responding to our influence, and what the impacts will be - remain largely unanswered. The climate is changing, but the why and how aren't as clear as you've probably been led to believe.

The challenges we face can be difficult even to think about.

"Nous assistons probablement, et je le souhaite de tout cœur, au passage à un stade éthique supérieur où la pensée humaniste s'émancipe de son cadre anthropocentrique pour s'étendre à tous les êtres sensibles qui peuplent la Terre. Dès lors, faire preuve d'"Humanité" ne signifie plus simplement respecter les autres êtres humains, mais tout être vivant, selon son degré de sensibilité et de conscience. La vie s'est exprimée sur Terre à travers une foisonnante diversité."
