If our endeavors are not economically viable, we lose the right to pursue those endeavors. Industrial farming sets the standard for dollar and cent costs of production and industrial farming exploits its natural and human resource base to keep those costs to a minimum. The answer is not to compete with industrial farming but to do something fundamentally different. This something different includes letting nature do more of the work of production working with nature rather than against it. Production costs may be competitive with, if not lower than, industrial systems if you let nature do enough of the work.
Industrial systems require uniformity and consistency, but nature is inherently diverse and dynamic.
Harmony comes from matching what you produce and how you produce it to the unique ecological niche in which you produce. The greater the harmony the more of the work nature will be willing to do. Finding harmony means reconnecting with the land. . Sustainable production is possible only if farmers have a harmonious relationship with the land if they know it, care about it, know how to care for it, take time to care for it, and can afford to care for it only if they love it. Something different also means marketing in the niches giving people what they really want rather than coercing or bribing them to take what you have for sale.
