Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Well the study De refers to seems to indicate that the yield in non-developing world is only a little less than conventional. A 15% increase in labour isn't too bad, and there's the issue of smarter, non-monoculture agriculture for the fruit trees and perennials, though I suspect that'll increase the labour requirements more.

Well, that will keep more people employed, though given the decreasing fraction of people employed in agriculture, increasing that by 15% is probably not going to make the unemployment rate look much better.

Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?
