There's the concept of cultural landscape. It's not wild nature, but it's not industrialized farming either. There is agriculture, but wild animals can live alongside and even within it. For example there are hedges alongside fields where birds can make nests. There is no toxin accumulation in predators because pesticides or herbicides are not used. Farm animals can graze outside. There is a whole ecosystem around that with birds eating flies etc. There is no massive eutrophication because synthetic fertilizers are not used. It's kind of a steady state. Everything is designed so it can be run for centuries. It's of course way more expensive and laborious to farm like this than industrial farming. But maybe technology like robotics could advance sufficiently that we could go back towards more like this. Of course not exactly the same, but taking some ideas. Weeds could be zapped with lasers. Smaller tractors can be autonomous. Synthetic fertilizers could be used but injected underground so they don't run off or evaporate / create N2O.
