there's truly no way to sustain a world population of more than, say,

You don't seem to be aware that smaller farms are more productive than
large agribusiness type concerns.


Where did I endorse large agribusiness? If small farms are more

imperatives of capital from those of real social efficiency and
humaneness. But even small farms use modern transportation and
machines.
