Social History of Plant Breeding and Seed Production
 Lichá, Tereza ; Žák, Martin (referee) ; Kollarová, Denisa (advisor)
How do Grocery Stores Shelves Stay Full All the Time is a visual essay based on extensive research. In the form of an iterative website, the work explores the issue of vegetable shortages in the UK during the months of February and March this year and the UK government's response to the situation. The aim is to highlight a fragile system that is invisible to us in our everyday lives through the commonplace of full supermarket shelves. Despite the fact that it is only a century since people worked in the fields every day for their own livelihood, millions of lives have been lost because of the imperialist experiments of the world powers in food self-sufficiency. The essay then shifts its excursion from the current situation in the UK to the experiments in landscape intervention in the 20th century, beginning with the Great Depression in the US and Mao's Great Leap Forward. During the so-called longread, pop-ups pop up with historical references serving as brief points of interest on the topic, such as Marie Antoinette's artificial village or the idea of draining the Mediterranean Sea and creating a new state at its bottom to be populated and farmed.
