Toxic scales

The visual and caption present an interesting take on toxic dynamics, moving between the "small" (family farmers) and the "large" (agribusiness). It clearly points to toxic dynamics of dependency between the two. The visual could be read as reproducing the toxic gaze of a pesticide producer -- pointing to the large scale while obscuring (ignoring?) relations on the ground. The visual could also draw out more what enables small family farming to subsist and resist – what "smallness" (particularities?) does a "large" agricultural company depend upon? Curious to see more!
