From Insects to Onions: A Journey Through Trade and Ecology

This chapter reflects on the decline of insect populations and the positive impacts of community initiatives like the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan on biodiversity. It transitions to the historical significance of onions, their cultural representations, and the trade dynamics between Brittany and England. The discussion further explores issues of globalization, consumerism, and the exploitation of migrant workers in agriculture, linking past practices to contemporary economic challenges.
