I don’t understand how agroforestry cannot operate industrially. The video doesn’t answer it’s broad claim how food production cannot be industrial.
The underlying naturalistic ideology bars progress of automatisation to monocropping land uses - the inability to develop knowledge compatible with global food security seems unnecessary or risky to me.
The video gets tangled up in a myriad of sideshows like general claims about economic philosophy, urban ecology, settlement geography, urban mobility, which arguments would require video(s) that is either way longer or seperated into distinct videos with distinct arguments.
I personally don’t like how the first argument relies on bad faith arguments: Ecological resources are scarce as well - in many places lack of scarcity moderates biodiversity. Electronics manufacturing doesn’t need to be non-circular. Feeding people requires depletion of minerals in soils, because some minerals aren’t recoverable from the hydro-, bio- and atmosphere.
Food as an industrial product can barely feed the people we have.
Globally, we produce more than enough food to feed everyone, if there is any struggle to feed others, it is generally due to either artificial scarcity or inability to transport it where it is needed.
I understand you have a preference for written information, which is entirely understandable.
I personally feel this video is quite information dense, and explains his ideas and concepts with no filler. If you feel it’s wasting your time, then I would recommend skipping it for sure. No harm in that. :)
