>I live on a farm.

Good. Now give me some of the vegetable you grow and what system you use... Dont worry, i study this things, so if you want to be specific i can understand.

>What I am calling out as extremely foolish is getting rid of farms

No one wants to get rids of farms. They are not just place to produce foods... Or at least they shouldn't. They should be a part of the society and ecosystem.

>What happens when something contaminates or corrupts the food systems? Talk about a food crisis. And that is besides the fact that the food will be extremely unhealthy and cancer causing to the human body.

This happen faaaaaar more often in uncontrolled enviroment such as Farms... Hey, did you follow all the steps to be sure your soil doesn't have an excess in N? Because that might create a build up of carcinogenic substance in vegetable... But if you stay too low the N will be removed by water being drained...

You know what could solve this problem? If the water wouldn't go away... Oh that's right, a hydroponic.

Explain the "WE", because you really sound like someone who didnt go to place where famine is a problem.

It's very easy talking about "Oh we should just produce things with the Biological metod" when you live in a country where you dont have to suffer food crysis... But trust me, the problem doesn't end an YOUR steps.

Start by buying only at biological supermarket, let's see if it is really that easy as you claim it is.

>We reap what we sow.

In your case... Nothing, because you cant feed the current population with just gathering erbs in the wild.

>Bananas are essentially cloned now

Because banana are sterile. The wild variety have this big seeds that cannot be eaten.

Plus, we still can create resistance to desease in bananas... GMO is the easiest one.

>Hydro facilities spend all their time fighting infections

You mean depuration center or hydroponic?

Hello, i am a uni student in agronomy (i dont know if this is the right translation from the italian word "Agronomo, which is basically the expert of vegetable production)

The concept was discussed first by Normann and Vought. The first wanted to basically create an enviroment where vegetable could be grown to the maximum, the second wanted a return to the "nature" of agricolture (putting a cap on the human population).

I personally dont side... But what you claim is totally stupid in any way. There is nothing natural in agricolture if we want to see it from the prospective of "nature".
