but global soil health is shit due to use of synthetic fertilisers. agriculture is one of leading drivers of climate change but also one of the most affected.

In The Netherlands we lost 85% of our biodiversity compared tot the 50’s. Mainly due to large scale agriculture and pesticides. Not sure if its better..

Actually, the real reason for the increase in food production is the use of a huge amount of all kinds of farm machinery that are all powered by FOSSIL FUELS.

at increasing cost to the natural world, on which we all depend

The chemicals have changed yields very little. It's mechanical harvesting that has allowed such growth.

Thanks to our sponsor, Monsanto.

It is because of tractors and other machinery. What use to take 30 workers, now takes a 30 foot swath.

And then we waste 38% of that production according to USDA and other best estimates.

It's because the inputs are chemicals instead of sweat.

200 years ago it was 90% of the population that worked the land. 5% distributed what was produced, 1% owned most of it and the rest administered things.

”We have a right to expect that the best trained, the best educated men on the Pacific slope, the Rocky Mountains, and great plains States will take the lead in the preservation and right use of forests, in securing the right use of waters, and in seeing that our land policy is not twisted from its original purpose, but is perpetuated by amendment, by change when such change is necessary in the life of that purpose, the purpose being to turn the public domain into farms each to be the property of the man who actually tills it and makes his home in it.”

“No nation has ever achieved permanent greatness unless this greatness was based on the wellbeing of the great farmer class, the men who live on the soil.”

Interesting. Im reading a book called "A Square Meal, the Culinary Històry of the Great depression. It mentioned that in the early 1900s there was a mass exodus of people leaving farms. Mostly younger generation farmers.
In 1908 Pres. Roosevelt alarmed by this created the "Country Life Commission" to investigate. The commission found country life was still going strong but a lot of people were leaving because city life offered more financial and intellectual opportunities. The country in general was starting a shift toward city life and that trend still continues today.
The mass reduction of farm workers wasn't BECAUSE of machinery, automation, etc, it was actually a cultural shift. People just wanted more. Schools were offering views of city life that was appealing. People had the opportunity to do more, learn more and experience more.

Is large amounts of unhealthy foods better? I think there is still much room for improvement

How have health and nutrition have deteriorated due to over harvesting and use of chemicals in this "more secure food supply"?

A whole lot of that is also because Mexico exports a load of their crops to the USA...

One more thing: the proposed improvement of safety in food supply to be tossed in this comparison is not justifiable. A) there is not data to proof food was objectively and significamtly more unsafe in 1900. There is a trend when measuring from our current point of view ...just concluding that back in time things must have been worse. But fact is this:

For detailed statistics and a more direct comparison between the years 1900 and 2024, historical records and modern databases would need to be consulted. The data from the early 20th century may not be as comprehensive or reliable as modern data due to the differences in data collection and reporting standards over time. However, it is clear that there have been significant improvements in food safety regulations and practices since the 1900s, contributing to a safer food supply in the USA today.

B) After WWII severeal 'improvements' like seeds and plants used to produce bread containing more gluten (helps against plant desease and insects to a certain level) were looked at being such an improvement. Today we know that long term this significantly aided to cause overweight. JUST LIKE ...allowing endless lore sugars in all sort of products. Food safety is replaced by 'safe' food... causing food addiction, chronic deseases and lack of health and fittness of people... There are stats proposing in 2050 highly overweight people in proportion to people in the us with a normal weight will be 2:1. So here a question: Did we come a long way making food more safe or making more people than ever in history chronically unhealthy and ill than ever before...?
