if they measure everything as a minimization problem with respect to cost efficience and yield.
Well to be fair, that 3rd home in the Hamptons and a bigger yacht are not going to pay for themselves.
Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though.

Is probably true. However, one should question their world view if they measure everything as a minimization problem with respect to cost efficience and yield.

I think it’s less about ruthless efficiency and more about which system will enable even the poorest in society to have nutritious food.

250 years ago people would rent pineapples for parties as status symbols because they cost $8000.
Nowadays the most expensive pineapple you can get is barely $400.
That’s progress

Not saying anything about the system, just about which farming method has the most potential to equitably distribute resources.

I get what you mean. Our system produces a ridiculous amount of quantity, which should be great! But in the context of where it’s firmly placed within existing socioeconomics, stupid things happen like “destroying all the product to keep the value from crashing” and the “distribution problem” that feeding the poor isn’t profitable.
Maybe industrial agriculture wouldn’t be so terrible if food production for the human race didn’t operate on the same metrics as handbags or funkopops. =\
