great thread by @badsocialism.bsky.social about the Tanganyika Groundnut Scheme - an instance of disastrous British colonial agricultural policy - with a link to our online video archive!
The Museum of English Rural Life
Sharon said I should do a Groundnut scheme thread
So, in the spirit of Mr. @garius.bsky.social of this parish, I shall embark on a short history of THE TANGANYIKA GROUNDNUT SCHEME, or the time the Attlee government tried to turn the worst land in east Africa in the world's largest peanut farm.
