@jackofalltrades@HeavenlyPossum@thesquirrelfish@jlou capitalist laws against productive uses of land contributes greatly to this imbalance. E.g. as recently as a hundred years ago cities could produce all their own dairy products by using open land later enclosed as parkland specifically if not wholly to prevent this. Chickens, goats, pigs, cows, other urban livestock and market gardens, all of which capital has effectively banished from cities are surprisingly productive. Yes, cities can't feed themselves, but very few human communities can and I don't see why it should be a goal.
