But, neither economically nor production quantity viable for 90% + of the world. For 'the old ways' to make any substantial return, the 'old days' would also have to return and those are gone forever, as small hobby/backyard/homestead farms cannot produce even a fraction of the food that even the local area requires, much less a regional and certainly not on a planetary scale. Look, at how many here at BYH do not and cannot produce enough to fill even their own family needs. How many times have you gone to the grocery store in the last 90 days?Back to the simpler, less intrusive/destructive/expensive manner of agriculture/farming/animal husbandry I believe would benefit us all and the planet in general.
There is a reason that the 'old ways' died.
