I said this on a similar thread yesterday, and I'll say it again – these farms will become profitable if and when we start acknowledging the negative externalities of industrialized agriculture. The public pays a price in both health and biodiversity loss, and the increasing cost of extreme weather events due to Climate Change. Governments subsidize these losses either by directly supporting conventional practices, or by allowing big agriculture to use chemically intensive processes. The reason small farms struggle to make a living using sustainable practices is largely because at the moment, there is little incentive. The public is fairly ignorant of where food comes from, or what it takes to grow it. Even less informed when it comes to why someone would even want to plant a diversity of plants rather than maximize yields.
