    iirc there are plenty of food forest designs that result in higher yields and better soil quality than modern industrial agriculture with less or no need for chemicals past a certain point… However they’re also much more labour intensive, you basically need to plant and pick everything by hand because the whole setup is way too complicated to just pull a plow through. Perhaps one day we could do it with some kind of mass drone based approach but right now its not feasable at scale.
