We should use more drastic solutions tho. Not only those you mentioned but also we need to subsidise precision agriculture, ban monocrops and phase out pesticides in favour of a more biotech approach.
This isn't the lesser evil because the other choice isn't evil. In fact, if we keep going like this we won't just experience a relatively minor reduction in food production, we will have close to no production and little to no suitable soil for agriculture.
Sure, but that's all long term. Whether they really need to extend glyphosate by 15 instead of 5 years however is a good question.
Long term? We're in the "long term" already.
Nope. We should be, but we aren't.
