When agricultural processes are invented that allow the population to grow by billions, what's the first thing people do? Rush to fill the extra capacity. Sure would be nice if we had the prudence to maintain a buffer.

Damn, imagine if we hadn’t depleted our soils of nutrients through unsustainable agricultural practices requiring us to pump unsustainable chemical fertilisers into the ground.

Combined with reducing the half a years supply of food per person that we waste per person each year. And using local native species instead of unsuitable foreign crops, we wouldn’t have to worry about any of that right now.

Oh well, now millions of the global south get to starve to death as we ~~steal~~ purchase their dwindling crops. Modern society is the best thing ever and we should make no effort to change it.

Good thing I have a couple of acquaintances that have small farms and produce, so if shit goes downhill, I know where to offer my labor

One day we’ll learn to structure laws so that fertilised monoculture isn’t the only economically viable form of agriculture.

But agribusiness lobbies won’t allow that so…
