    1. Perhaps we ultimately need to be prepared to accept less standardised and slightly more expensive food in order to accommodate less intense and more diverse agriculture. You might never be quite sure what to expect when you peeled a banana, but the result could be a more robust and sustainable food system without a major crisis every few decades.

    1. Git, the version control system released in 2005, made those processes even easier.

      Among many others DVCS / SCM (for Distributed Version Control Systems and Software Configuration Management). The coupling between Linux Kernel and Git make the last gain a lot of visibility, becoming the de-facto standard and choice, despite of its fitness for any community or workflow.

      In my case, after testing several DVCS / SCM, arch, git, bazaar, mercurial and fossil, I choose the last one, because I think it fits better small communities and individual projects, without the gratuitous complexity of Git and similar ones.
