Graduation project
Compost & Glyphosate

## “The magazine’s aim is a visual and literary deconstruction of the overly simplistic vision of French agriculture”
As the world faces an ecological crisis, agriculture must undergo a difficult but necessary transformation. In France, mainstream media oversimplify and even ridicule the division between ‘industrial’ and ‘sustainable’ agriculture. They portray large-scale industrial farmers as polluters and poisoners, and small organic and ‘mindful’ farmers as saviours of the planet. But the real environmental impact and the reflections of each farmer nourishing the country are in fact much more complex and nuanced. Lola Tual presents a more balanced view in her lifestyle magazine ‘Compost & Glyphosate’. By blending the simplistic, caricatural views into a refreshing new form, she counters the bias and invites her readers to do the same.
