Perhaps "food grown in a way that would survive the collapse of the agrochemical/seed industry."

Perhaps "food grown in a way that would survive the collapse of the agrochemical/seed industry."
- randomdata 8y agoAs a conventional farmer, it is not unheard of to have chemicals fail due to factors such as the weather. The crop survives just fine, you just lose out on maximum yield potential. As for seed, even certified organic growers rely on the seed industry, so I'm not sure that fits either.
- ajmurmann 8y agoAt this point it feels like we are just retrofitting a meaning to a word. The truth of the matter to me is that "organic" says more about people's alienation from modernity than about the product we are trying to describe.
