Food isn't Industrial - Why treating crops as an industrial product has wiped out nearly half the living world, and how treating it as an ecological partner can quickly heal it.

Y'all got an article instead of two minutes of information in a 17 minute video full of ads?
The creator unfortunately did not write an article.
If you're on a device that allows it (I know Apple doesn't, unfortunately), I'd highly recommend installing Unblock Origin to avoid ever watching ads.
If you are barred from installing adblocks, you can try using Piped.
I don't understand how agroforestry cannot operate industrially. The video doesn't answer it's broad claim how food production cannot be industrial.
The underlying naturalistic ideology bars progress of automatisation to monocropping land uses - the inability to develop knowledge compatible with global food security seems unnecessary or risky to me.
The video gets tangled up in a myriad of sideshows like general claims about economic philosophy, urban ecology, settlement geography, urban mobility, which arguments would require video(s) that is either way longer or seperated into distinct videos with distinct arguments.
I personally don't like how the first argument relies on bad faith arguments: Ecological resources are scarce as well - in many places lack of scarcity moderates biodiversity. Electronics manufacturing doesn't need to be non-circular. Feeding people requires depletion of minerals in soils, because some minerals aren't recoverable from the hydro-, bio- and atmosphere.
Of course not. Food is a commercial product made by and industrial process, like many commercial goods are.
This is childish.
Food as an industrial product can barely feed the people we have.
What do you propose?
If everyone tried to feed themselves, billions would starve to death because of low productivity.
Food as an industrial product can barely feed the people we have.
Globally, we produce more than enough food to feed everyone, if there is any struggle to feed others, it is generally due to either artificial scarcity or inability to transport it where it is needed.
Eat less meat. Far more vegetables can be grown on the same amount of land.
