What do you mean?
1 acre farms worked by people with hoes is less efficient than modern agriculture?
How can that be?
If that were true, all of the regular famines from history would have been prevented in modern times- save only for a few caused by war.
/s (Seriously, Excellent response btw)
It is odd how we conflate the relatively small harms of a more harmful (% wise) operation with the large harms of a less harmful (% wise) operation. It's like we forget the downsides of scaling up to current insane population sizes. There really are ~8,120,000,000 of us, perhaps our brains just aren't ready to handle the reality of that.
