Right, the outputs are higher than ever with the least conventionally measured inputs. Which was great for a while, but we're well into the tail portion of the curve where the advances are all accompanied with ever greater shifts of cost to the unmeasured externalities. Modern farming is a hyper-efficient process of converting fossil fuels -> fertilizer -> corn & soy -> food and its many imitations, along with massive environmental costs (CO2, runoff, freshwater usage and groundwater depletion, ...)
