Failing Agriculture: Collapse, Reinvention, or Techno-Reboot
A deep dive into the pressures facing global agriculture—soil loss, livestock decline, megafarms, robotics, and urban food systems—and whether our food future is collapsing or reinventing itself.
In this episode, Joel and Jee Pee Tee dive into the fragile state of modern agriculture: climate instability, soil depletion, collapsing livestock systems, disappearing small farms, and the economic pressures pushing food production toward megacorp scale.
We explore whether farming is heading toward a slow-motion collapse or a radical reinvention—looking at regenerative practices, polycropping, robotics, urban farming, and the potential (and pitfalls) of synthetic food.
It’s a wide-ranging, fact-focused conversation on what it will actually take to feed a growing population in a changing world—and which parts of food culture we should protect as the next agricultural era arrives.
