No, but hey, of course we are not going to turn on a dime but changes are happenin' and will NEED to continue happening, cuzzin' we are gradually destroying topsoil and depleting water resources world wide, cousin.
Numerous studies indicate pretty reliably that small, labor intensive ag is much kinder to the soil than big, High tech ag. No, Botnst, I don't want to switch to near starvation style subsistance ag and be at the mercy of the merciless elements day after tomorrow and that's not going to happen.
OTOH, we have this delusion in the west that we can bail out starving peoples in Africa and elsewhere with our ag abundance -- question is, who's going to bail us out when the un-composted manure hits the fan?

Oh...but small laor intensive AG will result in mass starvation of the lazy masses...
without heavily mechanised ag there will not be food surplusses....but huge famines and the only people eating will be the farmers and the very wealthy...
