> faster-growing, larger, longer-lasting vegetables are better product Whatever product fits into the economies of scale, and selective commoditization solely for the sake of profit concentration not nutrition or environment. But back to the idea of measuring everything. These are the counterpoints I can think about regarding measuring and controling: * Measuring and controlling cost resources, some less, some more. E.g. It is easier to measure yields than to measure nutrition. * There is imperfect knowledge on how to respond (control) after a given measurement, or even what measurements are important. E.g. Premature optimization, Goodhart's law, lack of certainty regarding nutrition. * There are conflicting interests on what the result of controlling should be. E.g. more profits or more nutrition? * Under appropriate circumstances systems can respond to variability or keep functioning without human control or input. This is resilience. E.g. Pollinating insects, edible weeds.
