    But the purpose of modern American agriculture isn’t to feed people, its to profit landlords.

    If landlords can’t profit, they won’t produce a surplus. And without a surplus, our economy contracts, forcing more workers into unemployment. Without employment, they can’t afford food, utilities, or rent. And that leads to malnutrition, poverty, and eventually death.
