Excellent analysis, though obviously I can't judge its veracity. Double-cropping like you describe is disastrous. You should produce intensive crops like potatoes only once every few years if you want the land to remain fertile. There are a lot of things the North Koreans could learn from other nations, if they weren't ruled by fear.

@RaveN_EDM The NK regime has been responsible for literally millions of deaths. Contrast this with the prosperity of the South, and we know we made the right decision when we entered the Korean War, and that the Chinese regime has a LOT to answer for in keeping this regime in power.

@KanishQQuotes Sure. Wasn't talking about culture but about technology and economics. However, I doubt there is anything left of Korean culture in N.K.: generations of oppression by absolute tirants who want to control your every thought and be worshiped as god tends to destroy a culture.

@funnyfarm5555 It depends on the crop you double-up. Soy is a legume, and those tend to enrich the soil (by binding nitrogen). Potatoes will deplete the soil very quickly if you repeat them to quickly. Farmers where I live (Netherlands) only do potatoes once every 3 years, I have heard.
