Eat GMOs day and night, does anyone forbid it? But your children's children will be mutants. We have the opportunity to verify this.
There is no longer an industrial society. We have a gas and oil pipeline society.
To date, only 8% of the economic potential remains – from the industrial society of 1986.
The village is a source of food for the city.
After that – no, the main food is produced within agro-industrial complexes, organized in a factory-like manner – few people, a lot of mechanization, seasonal workers.
40 thousand villages is more than 10 million people – not those who moved to the city but simply ceased to exist! – Died out, became alcoholics, disappeared. Who cares?
I don't know where the figure of 40 thousand and 10 million came from; just in case, find proof, I suspect it's also nonsense.
People leave villages because agriculture has been destroyed.
Rural agriculture was destroyed somewhere in the middle of the 20th century; only a small garden for oneself and relatives remains, sometimes a little to sell at the market. Industrial food production is carried out as I said above.
