<"Inefficient? Yes. Unsustainable? No way."

What about scaling issues?

<"We've been farming the old-fashioned way for thousands of years with exponential increases in population"

Almost, but not exactly true. Farm tech like all tech is more and more efficient as it improves. The more efficient it is the more it can scale, boosting populations by staving off famine.

<"There's tons of research out there supporting this"

No.. there really isn't.
