I think that we ignore an economy of scale at our own risk. To act as if industrial agriculture is the answer is to ignore the reality of agribusiness and the very real consequences which go with it. To lock ourselves into the current model which tries to get more and more from less and less is setting us up for disastrous failure. Again, spend some time around modern food processing and the petro-chemicals which enable modern “farming” and I think most folks would agree that a change is needed. I don’t really have time for the “feel good” organic style of food but to say that we need modern industrial farming is just wrong.
