Key concepts in this essay

productivity and efficiency vs. environmental and nutritional concerns
global vs. local food systems; scale-appropriate solutions differ
measurement of success: yield, cost, health, soil degradation, farmer welfare

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Treating 'scientific agriculture' as monolithic; factory farming, GMOs, and precision farming are distinct with different trade-offs
Ignoring that both views respond to real constraints: population growth, land scarcity, farmers' income pressure
Weak grasp of alternatives (organic, regenerative farming are also 'developments'; frames debate as 'development vs. none')
