Crop failures used to kill millions of people, and now that doesn't happen. Industrial agriculture is part of that story.

I think this is a false dichotomy where, if we don't use Monsanto, we will be forced back to the stone age. If herbicides are dangerous we should start putting resources towards further developing alternatives (like the weed-punching bot Bosch is working on)

I don't think it was presented as a dichotomy. Just that you can't cherry pick the parts of the past that you like to support your theory.
