I’d like my carrots to cost less than $100/lb thanks

  It is more expensive, but it's twice as much, not orders of magnitude. And given that we now consume twice as many calories as we need, we can eat vastly better on the same budget without destroying the environment. It's unreasonable to expect 100% of our food supply to come that way. But we can do a lot better than we do, and actually looking at the numbers instead of guessing makes that clear.

    It is not a simple story https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2021/07/09/organic-vs-conventional-farming-lower-environmental-impact/ https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2021/07/09/organic-vs-con... The most important advantage traditional agriculture has is that it uses less land and frees up space for nature.

  It’s a good thing that’s an exaggerated and disingenuous notion, then.
