I partially agree with what you said, but this way we cannot answer to the striking demand for food as a result of unexpected population growth. On the other hand, natural resources are getting scarcer due to climate change. Land reforms, extension training and digital farming all orchestrate the idea to bring natural resources into use more efficiently. The aim is to gain more yield from the same or even less amount of water or soil that is used for traditional farming. So, to answer to food demand, intervention is necessary to enhance the capacity of small-scale farmers.
Check out regenerative agriculture, it’s absolutely possible. In the end it’s about building up soil instead of erosion. Good soil creates resistance towards flooding and fire, creates habitats for diversity and nutritious food. And you can do both organically and not, depending on your needs. (Even if most practices are organic). I start to see more big scale project showing up with his practices in the EU and from big food producers. :)
Great idea, but not possible in the current agricultural industry, because your tomatoe isn't worth anything. Maybe that's why they are growing poppies
This wonderful talk is still applicable to so many parts of the world. Thank you!

do you have more videos on development or agriculture
Great great talk!
But here's the thing. Small and scattered land holding increases the cost of management and elicits modern technological use over them.
What is he saying?

if i could i would start a farm all over the world guidances so we all have a plan and the economy is safer
I agree what he say
