In an effort to make diets and agriculture “sustainable,” urban bureaucrats make policy based on industrial agricultural data, completely ignoring experience and practices coming out of holistically managed operations.
Some green activists have come to the conclusion that agriculture itself is necessarily destructive to the climate, biodiversity, and soil health. Thus World Economic Forum–adjacent thinkers call for a “farm-free future” with food primarily manufactured via precision fermentation and other scientific processes that result in products like lab grown meat. This idea, that we could simply eradicate the entire class of farmers, the land stewards who produce the world’s food—84 percent of whom are smallholders—in favor of corporate processed food products has been spiking in interest, especially among Silicon Valley types.
Chief among these “farm-free” advocates is George Monbiot, a vegan activist and, naturally, a Guardian columnist. A champion on the other side of the debate is Allan Savory, the originator of the idea of “Holistic Management” for livestock systems who has spent his life managing game reserves and ranchland around the world. Monbiot and Savory have engaged in an ongoing debate, which represents two very important poles in the fight for the future of our environment: reductionist eco-modernism versus a holistic, regenerative approach to land management.
An eco-modernist like Monbiot sees humans as the enemy, a fundamentally flawed and dangerous creature meant to be removed from pristine nature if that ecology is to have any chance. The holistic approach, typified by Savory, sees human beings as stewards of the Earth, a force for good when guided by the right principles. How did the environmental and conservation movements become so divided?
The most recent iteration of the debate was a Guardian interview wherein Monbiot took Savory to task over his claims that...

At least the sacred earth can finally heal, sarc!
I remember an old bumper sticker from the 60s...
EAT THE RICH
I guess they weren’t kidding.
And we can do all that farming on the moon.
we don’t need the earth, we can do it on the moon
All futurist crappola which is not viable today.
Same with the we don’t need fossil fuels
The obamanite wankers haven’t thought that through neither but they have the west convinced to the point where we are cutting our throats by govt edict.

Perfect! Thanks.
The marketplace is going to decide there is a place for both. Regenerative, holistic may be well intended but inherently limited by price and available land that obviously can’t feed all people and animals on this earth.
You swerved into the actual goal.
Going farm free will be a step backwards for those societies dumb enough to do it.
Agriculture, and the technology that has built it into one of the greatest of capital-building enterprises, has been what has sustained the ever-growing population of the world, and only in places where agricultural practices are badly applied, have there been famine and want.
I do see a future in which there are “urban farms”, high-rise structures where the techniques of growth lighting and hydroponics is applied to their maximum effectiveness. Being in urban areas, the transport costs from the growing locality to the processing facilities are minimized, the transport to consumer similarly shortened, sort of a super farmers’ market. But this will require enormous quantities of cheap and reliable energy, for both warmth and light, two very essential components for plant germination and growth.
But lab-grown protein is still a pipe dream. Plant protein in and of itself is mostly incomplete, as it takes animal protein to supply ALL the essential proteins human beings (and most other animal life) require on a continuing basis.

Cultured protein IS animal. Cells can be fed what goes on in an animals body which means it has exactly the same nutritional components as traditionally made meat (potentially both the good and bad). The only difference is instead of killing billions of animals every year it is grown in a sterile lab with a few cells.
There will still be farms. It will be where organ donors are grown.
To these advocates, don’t take this the wrong way, but FOESAD,MF! If you take it the wrong way, I’ll spell it out: FUCKOFFANDDIE,MOTHERFUCKERS!!
I always thought Dan Crenshaw was a RINO, that eyepatch is scary! Maria is a member?
