Would it not be better if some things were changed about agriculture? Would it not be better to eat more locally grown foods, for example? The vast distances food is traveling seem...inefficient, and it makes the packaging of the food more important than the quality and taste of the food (and thus we have the packing tomato- which tastes nothing like a tomato, but travels well...)

The other thing they don't see is because of our advancements in farming the number of acres that have been idled. Acres that should have never been farmed to be honest but had to be due to our low production under the old methods. I know many thousands of acres of blow sand around this area that are no longer farmed for crops,

Yes...the CRP program has put at least a third of the crop land, where i live, into an idle state.
