Maybe I should edit the comment to say "... feed as many people as we do at the cost that we do..." because while it's true we can gain the same land productivity with less advanced equipment, it would seem that the total labor cost to do so would make overall food cost very high. Not to mention difficulties in hiring the quantities of people needed. I'm definitely not any sort of knowledgeable expert here, just thinking aloud.

We currently have massive unemployment, and low quality, toxic food. I think rather than giving everyone a "basic income" to purchase that inferior food, we should give them jobs producing better food, and the overall increased price of food wouldn't be any worse than the cost of UBI.
