Didn't really mean to bash agriculture. It is the main reason our species dominates Earth. Just that tillage to raise (mostly) annual crops has caused far more environmental damage then grazing or subsistence hunting or fishing. The land area affected certainly is many times greater than that used for habitations, roads, or other such developments. Besides, much of that development is on soils or terrain unsuitable for agriculture. Kind of interesting that when my eight ancestors came here, five listed their occupations as farmers and three as hunters.
