With climate change fucking everything up does traditional agriculture of any kind have hope for staying around? When i get in a doomer mood i think about everything having to be grown inside greenhouses or hydroponics and it freaks me out.
People talk about permaculture sometimes, and I hear its better in a lotta ways but is it more resilient too? is it even possible to grow things in a way that can survive huge shifts in temp?
In addition to things like hydroponic systems and GMO crops, in all likelihood it's just going to be a major shift in what crops grow where. Previously productive agricultural land might be pretty useless in general or niche use, and some other land that was before not suited to agriculture will be much more suited to it. In North America, the major centers of agricultural production will (probably) shift from places like Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri to further north like Michigan, the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and likely some parts of Canada. Overall, it will likely be a dramatic shift downwards in overall arable land area and will cause most, if not all farmers to either change what they're growing or sell the farm and move
