Reply to comment by _smooth_talker_ in Fluke Discovery of Ancient Farming Technique Could Stabilize Crop Yields by Cross_examination

The reality that “efficiency” isn’t as important as reducing the distance food travels from farm to table.

So really, we shouldn’t even be predominantly relying on centralized agriculture, but food grown in our own backyard/community.

That isn’t to say the farmland should therefore be developed into highways and cities, but that we can do more from within our cities than we are currently allowing ourselves to do.

having a general idea of how much wheat it takes to make a loaf of bread and how much bread i eat in a year tells me this is not possible given the size of most cities and the fact we eat more than just bread. it could supplement our diets, but never sustain us.
