I find it amazing that people would even venture down this path anymore since the whole idea of large scale ag has lost it's appeal due to the large scale mess it has created for future generations. Feed a starving planet is a conspiracy. Every culture on this planet gardens or knows how to harvest from nature until they are displaced from their land or severe climate change occurs--give them land and knowledge and they will grow food. With the current global climate changes affects, we will have a responsibility to teach new and sustainable ways to all people in all lands. Food crops can be supported in more situations than the average person comprehends. Check out the success in the desert area of Iran using perma-culture methods. The method even changed the weather pattern for the area. We know there is a connection between plants and weather--reference the rain forest, right? Thanks for writing so eloquently about such an important issue. Enjoyed the pros and cons article.
