You know, that’s interesting. I know a farmer who does small farming (for CSA boxes and local restaurants) and his farm is doing just fine because he grows a variety of things, properly takes care of his field, cycles crops around, composts all the waste, uses natural things like chickens and bees to help care for the land…his farm is producing really well even though this was kind of a weird year for his region.
Almost like if you farm properly to grow food for people to eat instead of farming for short term profit alone, the land doesn’t turn into a giant dustbowl
La via campesina and other food/peasant movements have been saying that agroecology is the only way to make sure everyone has enough food in the future for about 50 years already.
Everyone working in food research or agronomy knows that, but we don’t get the big grants from bunge, Cargill and so on.

Yeah, we figured this out more than ten thousand years ago. But why think about next year when you can squeeze the ever loving shit out of this one?

ok but can his farm grow 10 million tomatoes that taste like plastic?
No, it can grow a few hundred tomatoes that taste fucking delicious instead!
