there may well be a need for lots of intensive agriculture.ve agriculture, we need to care about the ecosystem, and the ecosystems have needs. they need native habitats. they need natural processes. that's where all the living stuff around us lives. so, even if we can't escape from some of the most intensive practices, we have to surround them and wrap them in the appropriate native habitats of wherever they are and increasingly what we know, and we know this very clearly from places like the american midwest that are now very well studied by scientists that a lot of the agricultural practices that we thought uncritically were progress that were just a good thing and made everybody better off and farming more efficient are actually trashing soil, making sterile landscapes, and they're making it impossible for natives to live in those places. so, if you read my book, it tells you the story of how that plays out in english fields. but it's interesting that you point to the midwest, for example. i know you've spent quite a lot of time in iowa, a
