I don't get the racist part but they are right about it being bad for the environment. Much good farmland has been wasted building mcmansions and the requisite malls to go with them. Cities should build up and down, not out.

Less arable land is used now than 10 years ago and more food is produced.

Actually urban areas of greater than 10,000 people should be outlawed! We have thousands of square miles of vacant land in B.C. and the idiots have to cram themselves into a couple of areas the size of a shoe box! It's insane.

Let them live in their 50sqm. It's a choice.

Very, the Ag schools are making tremendous breakthroughs in soil preservation and crop rotation.
Relearning what real farmers knew for thousands of years before scam outfits like Monsanto came along and destroyed some of the best land and most valuable seeds.

Farmers thousands of years ago could never produce the yields current farmers do.

Crop rotation of the past is now a thing of the past. Land doesn't sit idle for a season. A different crop is seeded amongst the stubble and roots using zero till methods with precision fertilizer implementation and use of soil biologicals enhancing the biome.

You are really having a problem with facts today.
Farmers thousands of years ago didn't need to get the yields we get today. Fact is today we don't need to get the yields of poisonous food we do today either if farmland was used properly and deliveries were better organized. Most of the stuff agribiz produces isn't even fit to feed to pigs because it ruins the meat.

Crop is still rotated but fallow land is a rarity these days.
