Industrial farming will never work without cheap labor so either you perfect robots or you look the other way about migrant labor.
Most countries don’t pay their farm workers below local minimum wage, and yet somehow they produce food.
It is often done by foreign workers, though. Just above board, above or at minimum wage, which goes a lot further in their home countries.
Mmm lots do but the government provides subsidies to make up the difference.
Yes, I’d also argue they aren’t actually industrial farming in the same way we are. Most of the us methods are illegal in other countries of similar development.
