Yes, the beast of agriculture must die! and soon or we might all die with it.
I want to redefine the term "Farming". Farming is not agriculture. Let's distance farming from agriculture. Farming is about growing food for others (and Self-Sufficient Farming™ is growing food for your family first and then for others).
Agriculture is about growing food for others using scientific principles. Agriculture is a product of science and those who study it and promote it (as are all the 'culture's - agriculture, horticulture, viticulture, permaculture, etc).
Agriculture would have us have our food grown by robots. I once thought that it might be a good idea (back when my mind was still fogged by bad food and poisoned water) - to remove the drudgery of growing food - but how wrong I was. Growing food is not a drudgery but a joy. A pure joy. I don't want robots growing my food. I want to walk from my door into the garden and grab something to eat that will nourish my body and soul. I don't do agriculture. The beast of agriculture must die. Farming is for living things, living people. Long live mixed farms, true farms. Long live farming! Long live farmers!
