-me clueless politician calls "sustainable"? Because that is the only thing that could significantly reduce the highly-exaggerated impact farming supposedly has on the environment.

This largely comes from Malthus's 1798 Essay on the Principle of Population. Since then, we have been ten years away from unavoidable, irreparable ecological devastation that will wipe out humanity. The predictions are always wrong. We have barely scratched the surface of the planet's resources.
That's wrong though. Humans have wasted and polluted the planet.
Crude oil's running low so we've switched to fracking and shale oil. I know a few iron mines in the US are shut down because the rich veins have run out and they're digging sub-par ores.
Crude is getting more expensive, so the market invested in a different power source. The earth's core is mostly iron, so that isn't running out anytime soon. I don't understand the problem.
Don't try to understand words like fracking, just scream and writhe when you hear it!
...I am joking of course.
