I realize that advances in agriculture have solved a lot of problems too, though it’s not like we’re actually efficiently providing for the truly hungry people of the world even with all of our great methods. I don’t think we should go back to a simple agrarian society. But we could do a lot more, especially when it comes to policy, to encourage responsible land and animal stewardship.
