Re: Food (4.00 / 4)
Optimize food production along which dimension?
  1. Environmental impact?
  2. Quality of flavour?
  3. Animal welfare?
  4. Diversity of products?
  5. Nutritional content?
  6. Quantity?

I would argue that gigantic corporate-owned factory farms tend to do quite poorly on at least the first four. The European agricultural problem is closer to over production than under production anyway, so I don't think the last point is really of great concern at the moment. And, yes, pastoral settings should be part of the goal.
