I think a lot who comment on conventional ag don’t look deeply and understand the complexities of the problem. A permaculture “food forest” while awesome on paper and at a small scale, it’s a nightmare if you’re trying to feed a big population. A huge % of the cost of our food is related to harvest and monoculture makes harvesting significantly more affordable.
Conventional agriculture has a TON of room for improvement and has a lot to learn on the nutrition & pest management sides. All agriculture needs to be hyper-focused on sustainability because we’re never going to stop needing food.
