“It was necessary for us to do so.” We provide nourishment to the global population. My grandfather explained the reasons behind the various modifications we’ve made to our farm over time, from switching out horses for tractors, adopting new pesticide technologies to control weed growth, to expanding our cattle collection. The elites ingrained in us the relentless chant to continuously produce and create more. We, as farmers, responded to the demand by exporting more of our produce to foreign nations. In 1990, international sales amounted to slightly above $45 billion, and by 2022, these figures dramatically increased, reaching a peak of over $196 billion. However, the issue remains that simply boosting exports is insufficient to sustain farmers’ livelihoods. Consider the situation in the milk industry.
