Monoculture farming and usurping native species is a significant contributor to green house gases and it destroys the ecosystem. Run off water contains nitrogen from fertilizers. Don’t get me started on insecticides and insecticide resistant crops that one company has a monopoly on, they have won lawsuits against farmers for growing last year’s seeds instead of purchasing new ones.
It is absolutely not all farmers but unfortunately farms are going bankrupt and their properties get rolled up into a portfolios and sold. And if you’re a lucky* farmer then you lease areas of your land to the mega farming corp instead of out right losing your property.
