[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 5415264, member: 1232"] Actually it hasn't necessarily. Famine wasn't uncommon at all. We've always struggled with the nitrogen issue. That said holistic management isn't a prescriptive system like organic, and there's no such thing as semi organic. We can always improve our farming though for sure Veganism is not for me at all and Monbiot has some good insights but millions have survived on a vegetarian diet throughout history esp on the subcontinent. The definition of Veganism is a bit more modern so comparison is difficult. Personally I think the future is going to get more fragmented not less. So there will be more veganism, more GM, more growing in skyscrapers, more of every little thing. At the moment like or not GM is providing a very secure and reliable food system for many millions. It may not be great, it may like diversity, it may be very corporate but it does provide a lot of bodies with food. Not the world by any stretch but an awful lot of people. [/QUOTE]
