Cutting edge tech has nothing to do with it. Post-WW2 Netherlands invested heavily in super dense fertilizer heavy farming and dedicated 80% of its surface area to farming.
And now it is bringing the country to a stop. Pollinators died due to pesticide over-use. Natural diversity vanished because all land is consumed by mono-crops and the emissions of farming are so high that construction work has been halted as well, during a housing crisis.
This is NOT the future of food production!
