Are you looking at the possibility of sustainable agriculture with an open mind, or do you have an existing bias towards Monsanto-type industrial agriculture? It would be foolish to ignore the possibility of sustainable organic agriculture -- the world maintained itself with sustainable organic agriculture for thousands of years. It can and has been done. OTOH, they had many fewer mouths to feed, most of the population committed to agriculture, inadequate diets, very limited fresh fruits and vegetables, and horrendous (by today's standards) labor practices. So we can't simply say that because it was done then it can necessarily be done today under modern expectations and conditions. I will look at the article with interest.
