The definition of rural is not agriculture, it's non-urban, with urban being defined by population size (and linked strongly to density). To avoid arguing semantics, supporting a large population in low-density is less efficient than in high-density. Yet while there is climate change we're seeing urban sprawl of low-density communities continue. Meanwhile, they're pushing out the original farmers due to price increases, more than anything, the food argument doesn't hold up. By the way, plenty of suburbia is just as bad or much worse than similarly low-density rural areas. Living spaces should aspire to be walkable, that requires some level of density.
