Comment tout peut s'effondrer by Pablo Servigne

The will of the people and the political government (communist dictatorship) of the time were going in the same direction. Urban agriculture and mutual help between neighborhood communities was a necessity in Cuba in the 1990s. Agroecology and permaculture are applicable approaches.Īfter the collapse of the USSR in 1990 and the American embargo, Cubans had no choice but to adapt to meet the demand for food in the cities.

There are already solutions such as local production on small surfaces with direct sales. This observation therefore calls into question our agricultural model by rethinking the layout of cities (major consumers of food) and the production model reducing the use of inputs (chemical fertilizers, pesticides, other growing supplies …). Indeed, according to several scientific references and recent case studies such as natural disasters or terrorism, it has been observed that humans help each other when such events occur. The author of the novel and initiator of collapsology Pablo Servigne advocates the anticipation and mutual aid of people to better cope with collapse if it ever occurs. Monoculture and the use of phytosanitary products are the designated culprits. The current intensive and chemical agriculture is often criticized by collapsologists as one of the main reasons of resources depletion on earth, of the impoverishment of soils and of the pollution of ecosystems. This change of state will be a phase of transition and adaptation for the human species.Ĭollapsology: a way of rethinking our agricultural model However, we do not know what will cause this collapse.

All crises are intra and interconnected with chain reactions that will be felt around the world. Collapsology sums up the confluence of all crises (climatic, ecological, economic, health, etc.) with particular reference to ancient populations such as the Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians and even the Romans.
