Ag is subsidized to the hilt. That’s why food is so cheap. That and borderline wages for labour.
We only subsidize commodity ag that is publicly listed in financial markets.
This is also the reason why food growing(non commodity market) farms don’t get sufficient investment or experience the benefits of cutting edge tech. Investors can see returns on already optimized markets because there is room to introduce new services and products..that is enhanced by AI and subsequently data collection on steroids.
None of this is going to end well. Hubris. We need to consume less meat, automate Ag and focus on plant based nutrition(not fake meat altho cell based vat created meat has its place).
