Yes, the people who don’t care much about well being and flourishing of people in poor areas of the world might say that. Sure, they work their asses of hoeing the rows, and get quarter of the yields people in the west get with ten times more labor input, but at least it’s sustainable. No, sorry, I reject this sort of anti-human approach — people in poor countries deserve to flourish too, and using best farming and industrial practices is crucial to achieve that. I find this sort of keeping impoverished people in a cycle of poverty in the name of “sustainability” (whatever that means) to be rather despicable.
