> goal is to feed the planet efficiently If that was actually the goal, we would be investing into bioengineering salt-water tolerant crops, like China is doing. Or into permaculture, like many environmentalists are advocating. Or at least we would legally mandate interoperability and repairability of farm hardware, like right to repair advocates. But really the goal is to allow the established industrial players to continue their existing business practices, even thought they are harmful and thoughtless.
