>>11206499I know you're wrong because this is literally the field I work in. Agricultural output is booming right now and yield have never been better. This is natural since agricultural yields have only gone up since the 1960s every single year but the yields are increasing exponentially due to better and better crop management.
I can only speak for the company I work for which is in the Netherlands but what we do here is "precision farming" what this means is that we use technology like GPS, electrolythic sensors in the soil and the like to maximize the nutrients and minimize the amount of water and fertilizer each plant gets.
This combined with greenhouses and dynamic temperature control we basically create the absolute perfect circumstances for crops.
We also do this for animals as well.
It's why we're the 2nd biggest agricultural exporters in the world despite being such a small country of only 17 million people. The only country that produces more food than us is the USA but at the rate we are ramping up production we will become #1 agricultural producer before the 2030s.
We produce enough food to feed 40% of the global population. The majority of the Milk comes from our country. 30% of the world's pork meat comes from our country. A large share of all eggs comes from our country.
Except for cereals (which the USA dominates) we basically produce the majority of all other crops. Especially vegetables and root crops like potatoes and onions.
Our country has increased agricultural yields more than 100x since the 1990s and we expect to increase it by another 10x by the 2030s.
You underestimate how high-tech this field is. The vast majority of people working in agriculture here have at least a BSc. It isn't a domain for farmers anymore but for scientists and engineers.
Most labor is automated using self-driving tractors, drone pollination and sensor based nutritional delivery systems.
Global warming can't disrupt these solutions.
