I may be mistaken but agriculture is suffering from an over use of technology

Farming on its own is a miracle as it it is, we need to use natural solutions to solve natural problems to maintain good farming

See Alan Savory

See Will Harris

Technology is great for many things but it appears farming is something that needs a more natural approach to avoid an over-butchered solution like we have now…

Just my two cents

Every single tool that humans use is technology, the amount of leverage the tool gives you is it's metric for productivity.

The status quo is the result of slaves being freed, which was actually better for ecological health.

The leverage a fleet of AI robots could provide is the equivalent of meth smoking slaves, but better bc they follow your rule set and don't need rest.

Why wouldn't they be the solution implementoorrs of the natural solutions we come up with? It's peak energy channeling.

Complex multiple strata food systems can't be mechanized in the present, they require fine detail, technology will help them scale.

This will be the future.

I’m just skeptical when it comes to farming given farming is a human invention in and of itself already. Happy to be proven wrong.
