When agriculture began thousands of years ago, people had little understanding of how this movement would come to change our fundamental relationship with the land. In the present, humanity races to extract the earths resources at an ever increasing tempo based on a system of extraction, comodification and consumption.
This system is headed toward failure because it uses raw materials as if there was an inexhaustable supply, we live on a finite planet and we should act like it. To mitigate disaster, we must initiate a vast rewilding of the global lands. Using techniques of permaculture, we can increase the viability and durability of the areas we choose to farm, also creating food forests to integrate our agriculture further with the ecosystem.
One of the most destructive aspects of agriculture is animal production, getting so many animals together in one area creates inhumane conditions and huge amounts of toxic waste. This ongoing disaster could be mitigated through the rewilding of vast areas; by integrating the animals back into the environment, we can balance the ecosystem and hunt in the wild or graze herd animals on open ranges for what meat we need instead of using cruel and destructive factory farming practices.
