It is. The sentence is saying that lower nutrient intakes moderately change an individuals risk factor for disease. The "not a death sentence" clause is referring to the inadequacy, not the outcomes. Not everyone who consumes inadequate nutrients will develop a disease from that condition, it's a change in risk factors.
Would not having a diet more rich in bioavailable iron avoid the deficiency even in these scenarios?
Not in this instance. As stated later in the text, the digestive system has an upper limit on how much iron it can absorb. Pushing more iron into that system doesn't necessarily result in improved iron intake.
The top soil crisis never even factors into their 2500 word blog. Surely soil, and fertilizer are factors that are likely to change in the near future and to say they won’t have a impact on nutrient density is bold.
Again, as stated, fertilizer applications have plateaued since the 90s. What I'm saying is that, due to the plateauing of input use growth in developed agricultural regions, we shouldn't see an increase in dilution from those sources since conditions crops are being grown under have been consistent for around 3 decades. There's no reason to expect a sudden surge in fertilizer use in developed nations, thus no more dilution from added fertilizer use should be expected.
Look at your state's and Brokerage's Escheatment policies and procedures. My brokerage will send out a letter prior to taking any actions (and I'd assume they'd also send an email, but idk). Phone calls to the brokerage checking in on the account or direct deposits all count as activity (though with the phone calls, I'd confirm the account number to make sure they're talking about the right account).

One counterexample I would like to point out is the Medicaid expansion under Obamacare seems to have made that program another one of the 'third rail' policies alongside Social Security and Medicare
Alley cropping has a lot of advantages and scales well depending on one's goals. If you wanted to have large combines, you can simply make the alleys wider. Its all about tradeoffs. I'll have to look into Kentucky coffeetree, I imagine that their bean pods would make good livestock fodder.
Regarding the alfalfa wheat intercrop, the goal is actually to harvest the wheat for grain, with the alfalfa functioning as a sort of fertilizer crop (that's still harvested for forage after the wheat is harvested). There are a lot of barriers, so it's an active area of research, but it's a really interesting topic.
I think ocean iron fertilization has some promise to it, and it has the benefit of being able to be experimented with at a small scale and subsequently scaled up responsibly to measure effects. Aerosols are kind of a one and done solution, and if for any reason its suspended, their is a boomerang effect that drives warming even higher
It's also ridiculous how many products are just trucking water around from one place to another with a little big of active solution mixed in. We need more 'just add water' products available.
Definitely a valid critique of Mondragon in the modern era, its commitment to the 10% ratio has atrophied somewhat. It's still something that ebbs and flows, for example there is a current push to transfer 35,000 non-member workers in their retail coop into full members (from a total of 50,000 workers). From numbers I've seen, 85% of employees are still members, which is pretty good.
Yeah, I think its useful to continue trialing out the technology and see if it can hold up to snuff. But at the same time banking on this idea as our only approach to decarbonizing protein (which is what the beef industry would prefer) is short sighted, imo
I'm not sure I would call that a monopoly though. Most farmland is owned by the operator, and a large portion of leased farmland is owned by retired farmers, descendants, or widows. Roughly 10% of land is owned by some sort of corporate or trust landlord. (This data is a tad old, but my general sense from subsequent years is that land transfers were mainly through inheritance, not sale, implying the situation is similar today). Price increases in land is due to different forces, and consolidation occurs mostly within communities (i.e. a big family farm purchases a small family farm, or when a farmer dies their kid retains the land and rents it, these are the processes behind consolidation and lack of land access, imo).
There's this idea called World Systems theory, that divides the world into core and peripheral countries, with the core countries extracting resources (natural, financial, or labor) and sends pollution back. This is maintained by military and/or economic power. That's the framework where this would be considered colonial. Personally, I prefer the term neocolonial
I mean for a lot of things there just aren't any real options. Lots of software packages are no longer available without a subscription. Heck, I've been looking for an app to guide me through evening stretches and I can't find anything that's just a single purchase.
The only references I can find for such soils are when there are highly stratified C horizons where a component may be sandy clays, like the Lohmiller series, at least that's my interpretation of the description

Charity with fewer mechanisms of control from the donator
Unfortunately I have been proven wrong :/

Its definitely the plot of termination shock

Are there any mechanisms where landlords can be driven to adopt the alternatives that homeowners are utilizing?
It is a good sign that in some countries where leasing is still open, oil companies are buying a lot fewer permits

Can you elaborate on land ownership monopolies?

Moisture would be an issue with such a set up, and could cause mold and mildew in apartment units
