As a plant science researcher from a farming family, I found this piece really insightful. It’s a well-articulated look at how industrial agriculture should (can) help feed 10B people while minimizing environmental impact. Efficiency and innovation are key. #AgTech #Sustainability
There has been...interest...in my NYT essay about industrial agriculture. I've seen a lot of thoughtful commentary, not all of it about the depth of my evil. Thanks! Here's a gift link, then a quick thread responding to the most common critiques. 1
