Would the world be better off without agriculture?

Before the invention of agriculture, people lived by hunting and fishing and picking berries and mushrooms. Being nomads, they had no place to keep a lot of stuff in, so they gathered less of it and consequently consumed not very much resources. Their inhabitations were mobile and temporary, doing very little permanent harm to nature. They also had no reason to dry swamps or cut down forests. Whereas agriculture ruined everything, distances man from nature and soon enabled capitalism.

Yas/No?

To be honest it all went tits up when we fell out of the trees

Miss the pre-agricultural days.

Agriculture is great for people but pretty much every form of it is terrible for the world.

So to answer your question, yes the world would be better off without it.

Yes, it introduced class based societies. Let's get rid of it.

A big Yes.

Yes. Agriculture is for the elite and despite it's name adds nothing to actual culture.

Yeah, hunting carrots with bows.

Ever since vertebrates split from invertebrates it's all gone downhill
