Of course this is on plant yield and the ugly side of monoculture

Oh and this is the problem with the green revolution, it provided the calories for human populations to explode, but once the green revolution crash (and the end of oil is coming).. well then.

On the bright side, pesticides will go away (oil based mostly), and our monoculture practice in the midwest will have to come to an end as well. The down side is... what I pointed to. Worst case scenario half of the world's population will starve to death, unless we find a new way to keep the land that productive. Truly this is the side of it that nobody expected in 1950.
