  How does this have so many upvotes in a science-based community? Behind everything that destroys the ecosystem it is big faceless corporations, not individual people wanting to make profit. This is like accusing your local pharmacy employee of hiking cost of medicines.

    Corporate farmers are still farmers. They still live out in farm towns and go to the pub and do the full farmer routine.

  That’s probably someone hired to work the farm by the multinational who owns the wheat field, the pesticide, the fertilizer, and the genes of the wheat they’re growing.

      It’s capitalism, not humans exactly.

  I can’t speak for farmers, but the rednecks in my area love to say they’re conservationists while throwing their garbage out of the driver’s side window.

  The burden does not fall only on farming, its society itself. We need huge farming fields to satisfy the market, aka our bellies.
