But the traditional crops had the technological characteristicis (like GM variants) to work on macroecnomic scale?

@David-gy6fv But it avoided it with less population that had less demands that they have in modern life. I mean, consider that the problem is that what was a good solution 50 or 100 years ago or more, may not be a fitting solution whitin the last 20 years.

@David-gy6fv Well, that's the thing: The traditional way probably was great at feeding small populations, but with the current numbers, probably you need the fertilizers, the GM variants (more resilient and productive), the machinery, and more varieties (foreing crops, like corn or wheat or rice).

@David-gy6fv Wel, maybe he said that. But that doesn't affect the fact that old technology can't be as productive and efficient. As I said: Solutions that worked out 100 or 50 years ago ago are unlikely to still working as they did.

@David-gy6fv The local solutions still wouldn't be enough, specially for developing and underdeveloped countries. If we enter in «de-globalization» process, we most likely will enter in a wolrd of blocks.
