Damn, imagine if we hadn’t depleted our soils of nutrients through unsustainable agricultural practices requiring us to pump unsustainable chemical fertilisers into the ground.
Combined with reducing the half a years supply of food per person that we waste per person each year. And using local native species instead of unsuitable foreign crops, we wouldn’t have to worry about any of that right now.
Oh well, now millions of the global south get to starve to death as we steal purchase their dwindling crops. Modern society is the best thing ever and we should make no effort to change it.

Don’t forget about poisoning our aquifers with fracking.
Edit: I also forgot to mention selling off our water rights to the Saudis so they can grow alfalfa for their racehorses. Maybe it’s for the best that we’re poisoning the water first.
Ehh… We kinda missed the boat on that by like a hundred years. Even before the Haber process allowed us to allocate ammonia chemically, we had started to worse and worse famine pop up globally. We just have more people on earth than the natural nitrogen cycle can support through agricultural means.

No, we don’t
How, with the 3-field rotation method from the middle ages? It was super sustainable but we’d need 3x more farmland
