from a more generalist viewpoint, we must consider not only the business models, but the mindsets behind them

consider an example from another area. the assembly line and "k12 education". a 'raw material' (but it's actually a child) enters an assembly line, every year they will be passed to the next part of the process, another professional worker will receive the product and will work on it/them for a year.

Also notice how modern elementary education treats the teachers; they far too much like factory workers! low wages, they haven't much of a choice about how to do their jobs.

Now consider the mindsets behind the successful GMO crops (+pesticide combos) that have been the money makers for this companies.

And consider the mono-crop mentalities and the above mentioned feedback cycle: gmo+pesticide kill the soil leading to more gmo+pesticide; it's a vicious cycle. it's a vicious cycle that keeps making more money!

and again, consider the mindsets involved. why are we educating children like they were cars in a production line?

we have a difficult problem, and no power to do anything about it
