Seeking the Farms of the Future:

Here is a great video from the BBC that sums up our situation very well.

The future is in small high intensity sustainable farms managed primarily by manual labor. There's really no other answer that I can see.

I write about it at length here, but I think the most likely shape of food to come is that for some time yet we'll still see industrialised fossil fuel-using agriculture for basic grains, but lots more small farms and allotments in cities.
