Not only is the industrialized, globalized, monopolized, for-profit, agricultural system destroying the environment, our health, farmer livelihoods - it seems it is also extremely inefficient.
This study finds that it is actually small farms that are feeding most of the world, and they are doing so with less than a quarter of all farmland!
But they get destroyed and monopolised, and the communities they provide for, devastated and enslaved, by rapacious, environmentally-horrific, and less efficient, giant agricultural corporations; so that a powerful few get rich at everyone else’s expense.
The planet is being destroyed, and lives ruined, because we gave up trying to have democracy, and instead gave even more power to sociopathic/ignorant elites, and predatory transnational corporations, making government powerless/corrupt.
We need democracy!
.....
Update: It is also making us infertile!
