A different outlook, for anyone willing to watch hundreds of hours of youtube videos on regenerative agriculture, a rising tide of decentralized farmers are going back to chemical-free and healthy, thriving produce, far beyond the organic label that corporations have usurped and rendered valueless. Look for living web farms and advancing eco agriculture on youtube and get ready for a world of information outside of software.
It turns out that unless you are an uber-agri-corp, you're better off serving the niche local and regional markets. Yes you may have smaller yield, but why on Earth should you be incentivized by yield and not profit? Profit is the purpose, yield is the means to acheive that for big companies, small companies can focus on quality, flavor, nutrition, health in order to profit. Leave yield to the supply chain managers, let the farmers grow actual food I feel good about eating. No more bright red flavorless strawberries.
If you dig into those youtube channels, you'll find just how damaging the chemical fertilizers have been for our soil biome, how damaging tilling is to the microbiology, how herbicides leave farm soil bare and creating soil compaction and flooding when the inevitable rain is unable to infiltrate the soil fast enough.
