Genius innovators in agriculture have called enough on this sort of landscape vandalism. Not least because nobody makes any money out of it, long-term. They’re shifting most of our food production to massive greenhouses, utilising vertical space and desalinated and recycled water. It’s also a great business model, because it means crops are not dependent on weather, and pests are easily controlled. The picture-perfect truss tomatoes you can see in supermarkets now come from those greenhouses.
