The process of re-ruralizing is taking place in real time.
Mostly in developing countries that have had a high reliance on tourism income supplementing rural incomes.
In Bali (where I lived most of my life) somewhere between one and two thirds of the cash economy comes from visitors from off island.
Enter the virus.
Everybody’s going home to the villages.
Money from off island, gone.
Tiny farms, big families.
What could go wrong ?
