When I want to relax, I read an essay by Engels. When I want something more serious, I read Corto Maltese.

The Banana Defender has logged on.

This isn’t unique to bananas. Every orchard everywhere uses vegetative propagation because it’s great.

Nine‐seven percent of pistachios grown in California, which is itself almost half of world production, are the ‘Kerman‘ cultivar.

That’s more foolhardy than when it’s done with bananas. At least banana growers have good reasons for their monoculture. It’s also less problematic than banana monoculture, because other cultivars of pistachios do exist and are widely grown in Iran and Turkey. The world at large wouldn’t care if Kerman pistachios fell victim to the equivalent of Panama Disease.

What makes banana special is that they can’t be grafted and to be marketable, their fruit must be seedless. No other major crop is under these constraints.



As an overgrown stalk of grass, the banana plant cannot be grafted.

If bananas could be grafted, we could use one rootstock, either genetically diverse seedlings or a cultivar proven to be fungus‐resistant and graft a Cavendish trunk to it.

Developing new varieties is difficult when any good candidate is also by definition a genetic dead end. Many millions of dollars have been spent with little to show for it because banana breeding is hard. It’s not like apples where John McIntosh can find a great new variety growing in his compost heap.

Just because other crops are worse doesn't make this ok? And there are shitloads of seedless banana cultivars, they just don't produce them for whatever reason. Various Pacific island countries have tried to produce and market different cultivars, but they got rejected by supermarkets because they couldn't guarantee a year-round supply which is supposedly what consumers want. So we just get Cavendish bananas, until the entire world is unable to grow them anymore I guess.

We, the people used to supermarkets, are going to need to get used to largely buying only seasonal baggies and fruits. There's no reason you have to have oranges in the dead of winter.

Keep everything rotating and appropriate for the season. gently caress frozen storage.

But you shouldn't listen to me because I know nothing about agriculture, food science or nutrition writ large.

Good point. Orange season is from October to June, and peaks around January-March. So oranges in the dead of winter are actually p appropriate.

Agreed on the rest though, but it's more a general point for consumers. Remember Michelle Obama's attempt to get fast food and junk food to have accompanying nutrition facts? They do now and while it helps for some quick armchair nutrition math it doesn't actually dissuade most people because Convenience > Literally anything else.

But...frozen storage is one way to have seasonal produce available year-round. Buy it in season, freeze it until you want it. What the gently caress are you talking about? :confused:

I mean from an environmental perspective we should eat far less stuff that's shipped from far away. Supply chains are a big problem.

But that's also utter bullshit because transportation cost is only a small part of the environmental impact of most agricultural products. Growing local is a nice for the local economy but from a sustainability perspective it's best to grow a given crop where it's the most productive for the same energy input.
