At a certain point the cost of diesel and wages to harvest a field become more than the value of the field>but, anon... subsidies (welfare)!yeah that might work in the US and maybe parts of Western Europe but what about all of South Asia, huge sections of the African continent, and South East Asia? Where are those 5+ Billion starving hoards supposed to go and what are they supposed to do?
>>542454421They go to heaven and stop being a burden on society as a whole
>>542454421sounds like something that could have been prevented with a bit of planningbut um ... number go up?
>At a certain point the cost of diesel and wages to harvest a field become more than the value of the fieldWhy
>>542454421OKNow while we wouldn't be able to feed the giga-cities with such methods, you don't have to worry about extinction level events over diesel (just mass starvation in the cities).Because we keep "herritage breeds" alive, subsidized even, specifically so if it all goes wahoonie shaped we have horse breeds that do well in the field. Milch cows with long teats (for easier by-hand milking) etc. etc.All to ensure that there will be humans thriving here, even if...
>>542454421If costs went that high, you'd have harvested and chaser bins running on giant batteries.The cost of the food would sky-rocket to compensate for the added cost on fuel
>>542454421At that point, you simply raise the prices of the food you sell to compensate. Pretty simple.Running out of food is not going to be an issue unless fuel becomes inaccessible for some reason (like in india due to the straight of hormuz situation).The real issue is if food prices become unaffordable for people, at which point being a farmer and having your own secure food source is a blessing.
>>542454950>he thinks the government is going to let him keep his fields when the economy implodes and society is collapsing
>>542454421They come to work on your farms of course. It's a huemanitarian crisis so open the borders, but it's also a GDP miracle.
>>542454421We have the same fag threads every day. This administration is absolutely desperately looking for answers to its problems. >"subsidies"Faggot that you are, these things already ARE unprofitable and subsidies HAVE fixed (caused) it.
>>542454950The USDA does not allow that. That cannot legally be done.
>>542454950prices are high, because it is unavailable and high prices are there to suppress usage
>>542454950If the raw food prices go to stratopheric levels paying the harvester with part of the food become an option again, they can eat or sell it
>>542454421On the current trajectory.....die. One man can save the world, will he? Think about it for a sec......won't cost you a thing.
>>542454950>At that point, you simply raise the prices of the food you sell to compensateThat doesn't fix the problem. You can't raise prices on something like wheat or rice or lentils because 90% of the population in South Asia, Africa, and South East Asia live on less than 5 dollars a day. These people are already eating the "poverty food" they can't reduce any more outside of reducing their daily caloric intake which leads to malnutrition and starvation.
>>542455504the world doesn't need savingit needs nuuks

>>542455260Isn't that what your second amendment is for?>>542455437Good thinking. Just like how back in the old days, samurai were paid with rice.
>>542455639>Isn't that what your second amendment is for?A shotgun and a will to live free doesn't get you very far when the militarized police force shows up on your land.
which is why my family hires people to work on our field by handCosts only 40$ a month per employee
