A lot of my comfort with the old way of growing crops comes from the time it took to grow the crop, and see it change slowly over time. The other part of it was that these new human prompted crops were open for people to use, and once you got the grain from the farmer, nothing stops you from planting it yourself.

Also, when we discuss food scarcity, why do we insist that technology will save us? It wont, the food scarcity problem is an socio-architectural and political problem more than a technological problem.

It's not though. We don't consider America to have a scarcity of food, even though there are people starving there. Food scarcity happens when a region cannot produce its own food.

Shipping food to food scarce regions is not a sustainable solution to the problem of scarcity.
