>But it is what we need at the moment to feed the world's population.

Not true. The American food system is incredibly wasteful, and people are getting sick from diseases associated with western diets and overeating, like diabetes and heart disease. People eating traditional eastern diets use less resources and have less diet related illnesses.

Industrial farming is not helpful or needed. The only thing it's good for is putting money in some people's pockets.
