I agree with you insofar as what you said properly applies to industrial scale agriculture. Mono cultures are easier to scale with fewer people, and only about 1% of the workforce in the US, maybe less, is a farmer in any meaningful capacity despite the sheer quantity of food that we grow and even export.
We have only been doing industrial scale agriculture for about two hundred years though, and we’ve been farming for at least eleven thousand years.
