One BIG way we can help Afghanistan

[MDresden]

I've been thinking of this long and through on how to discuss it...but I'm at a loss since I don't technically know how it all works.

Planting Soybeans I believe will very much help Afghanistan as well as make (hopefully more fertile lands.)

Think of it like this: a lot of qalats around here have small irrigation techniques employed that provide water...that area of land is brown/dark brown/black meaning it has nutrients. You look to the other side of the road and you got barren sand...that runs right through your fingers.

How reliable would it be to transfer some sand to one place and the dirt to the other place? Then plant soybeans in the area where there is more "sand" then dirt?

We do it in the states, "rotate crops" every other year or thereabouts and the soybeans actually give nutrients back to the soil, namely nitrogen.

It's just an idea and I don't know how feasible it is...but others may know a bit better then me and can continue the discussion.

You just want afghans to work as slaves to stuff your stomachs with a cashcrop. its what the british empire and the dutch and portugese used to do all the time to african countries they'd colonize, just make them in charge of producing one crop so that theyre always dependant upon foreigners for importing other goods.

Soybeans are gross anyway. Afghans will continue planting fruit, maize, rice vegetables, etc and your bombs will not stop them.

Wide scale soy bean production is known for causing widespread ecological and environmental damage.

as Tyrese pointed out it's a massive cash crop mainly used for animal feed to yield more beef. Such cashcrops are planted in mainly economically destitute regions caused by the brunt of capitalist exploitation and further exploited by maintaining exclusive dependence on purchasers of soybeans mainly Capitalist nations which have high consumption and waste and in turn damaging to the global environment as a result. The dependence on soil production maintains economic slavery to Capitalist countries like America; which demonstrates the Imperialist agenda of American/NATO involvement in Afghaniistan; enslave Afghans as a labor force.

Because Soy requires a LOT of water to raise large crops, WIDE spread soy production would devastate water supplyl over stress irrigation and kill off other essential crops and ruin biodiversity.

Soybeans dont PROVIDE Nitrogen in soil; this makes no sense in Plant Science Plants extract nitrogen which is fixated by Microorganisms; and that Nitrogen gets into their bean which is why it's used for cattle feed. It actually STRAINS on soil nitrogen and reduces soil quality and fertility.

^ Magnanimous post, my friend. You have got it all right. They have enslaved my people militarily, economically, politically, and culturally for centuries. Do not let them do it to you.

Best wishes from the people of Congo

we're allies for the same cause against the Imperial devils.

soya does have nitrogen fixing properties, i read. therefore helping regenerate soil.

[ScimitarXEdge]

nitrogen fixation is something done within the soy plant itself it does not redistribute nitrogen, it consumes nitrogen rich compounds. soy beans have high nitrrogen yield when consumed by animals hence why they're used in animal feed, but the reason soy is so nitrogen rich is because it drains a lot of nitrogen from soil.

The white man has long been a source of disaster for the world. It is for us to keep ourselves firm and resonant against their deceitful plans. Their wish us to keep us poor and dependent.

Soy beans are also genetically engineered. In the US, 91% is of the engineered variety. Please be aware that this is another evil whose consumption potently alters the normal functioning of the human body.

i thought legumes are nitrogen-fixing plants. good for the soil.

well you have to look at it from a perspective of scale; if you have large scale production the impact differs from subsistant horticulture.

I have jungle fever because I am a humanitarian aid worker risking my life helping your people? You are a very depraved being, indeed. I assume you have much love for the white man, since you are coming to his defense.

most afghans are caucasian lol

since u are there, how about uploading some photos of u and ur work there.

I see, so this explains your utter foolishness and long for acceptance into the white man's mold, although he will never accept you, my friend no matter how hard you struggle. To him, you will always be the brown-skinned sand-n igger whose life and property has no other purpose except that he should take both.

i like being a sand nikka. u dont seem to like being black, which explains all ur racial animosity, the blame game, and finger pointing. so again, why dont u show us what kind of work u are doing in afg?
