> what's your point against "sustainable"
"Sustainable" is just a label, it doesn't in itself prove
a) that the methods it describes are sustainable;
b) that the conventional, industrial methods are not sustainable.
However, I agree that nothing natural can sustain a population of 7 billion. But we can try to concentrate the necessary unnatural food production on the smallest possible area, or use less technology and spread it over a much wider area.
