> This could be the end of cruel factory farms and the resurgence of smaller, healthier and more humane farming. Yes, well, you're going to have to show me the math. We eat incredibly well, with decent nutrition (could be better, yes), 365 days a year. On a modest expenditure. Modern agriculture is sufficiently productive that world hunger is a distribution problem, not a production problem. I would like to see improvements in soil management and reductions in chemical usage, certainly, but new production practices you suggest need to pencil out. If you are going to argue for market forces driving us to smaller farm operations, you need to show me the math. Show me how we get there. And make a net improvement in nutrition for everyone. Without inconveniencing the city dwellers that have forgotten that the phrase "seasonal produce" used to exist. Go grow some food. Keep good records, and share the results with us.
