We can engineer more sustainable food production systems at multiple levels. Would you consider terracing a whole mountain to maximize water use to be sustainable? The initial impact is quite destructive but the result is a more sustainable and persistent food producing ecosystem. We can also use the natural landscape but cultivate the species that grow in the ecosystem (food forest). I believe we are meant to be the gardeners of the planet. Improving available food in an ecosystem invites more living things. It is a positive feedback loop. If we focused on building closed loop ecosystems that also provide food and materials we could be a benefit to all life. Focusing on not changing the "wild" is a negative view. We are the expert species at forming our environment. We should shape it so it provides for us and the rest of the critters.
