Why would you need to?

Western agriculture as you point out is very different to somewhere like in the article.

You fit the product to the market not the market to the product.

We definitely still need very large farms with big machines to feed the world; but nowadays, with climate problems, droughts, smaller and diverse farms resist better, are more productive by surface, have a better quality of soil, better quality of food, they are literally carbon sinks, it just requires more manual work

yes but is it a problem? there are many jobs that require to walk and move your legs/arms several hours per day, e.g. cleaning, selling those farm products at markets, .., and this one is a very useful one, with a negative carbon impact

There is more than enough workforce and this job is very interesting on all aspects, it's not something that breaks your back after 10years if done properly, it's just natural efforts
