The bottom line is that the Industrial Revolution needs to have a real Green Revolution (not the energy-intense synthetic fertilizers one). In a short period of time we've screwed up almost everything on the planet. We've acted like there are no consequences. We're hanging on by a thread. Our food system is horribly inefficient and propped up with chemistry. Instead of creating good soil we're depleting and poisoning the soil. Same with fresh water. Climate disruption changes weather patterns, which we rely on knowing as much as possible for agriculture. How are we going to deal with that? Move crop production?
