> permaculture setups that integrates animals and a food forest into their operation.
This is a premise from a bygone era. Replace modern farming with integrated permaculture and billions will starve. Such farming techniques only persist in developed countries today as niche activities to amuse yuppies who want to buy some connection to nature at the grocery store.
- CuriouslyC 3y agoGreat idea. We'll just keep trashing our planet until it can't support our outsized population, then we'll destroy each other trying not to starve.
- stametseater 3y agoFood instability will lead to mass starvation, which in turn will lead to wars. Wars will trash this planet more surely than modern mechanized farming.
- CuriouslyC 3y agoI think you missed the part where modern mechanized farming is going to destroy fertility to the point that we have food instability anyhow, which was my original point. The answer is to rethink how we feed our populations, but by all means keep kicking the doomsday can down the line without a plan.
