asdf32 posted:This is among the visible direct benefits of modern industrial scale farming. Visible, but what is the direct benefit? Farm lands require forests as well. Places that demolished forests are turning into deserts, so I'm not sure what is supposed to be so great about the picture you posted. If you want to argue visible benefits of small scale vs only industrial, what of pig farms and their massive sewage ponds?  North Carolina has serious, crippling problems every few years when heavy rains or hurricanes pass through, and pig poo poo covers the land for miles and miles. The smells are bad enough to make people faint and will be a prime location for spreading the next superflu when an anti-biotic resistant disease appears in one of these giant pig farms.
