Those that promote a return to the natural world always exclude themselves from that return, nor do they realize there is a very good reason for no longer utilizing the 'old ways'.

I fear the day that folks like you learn your lesson of hubris the hard way as regards soil productivity and coastal marine productivity. You have no idea how infantile our "high technology" is on those topics, nor how much damage we are doing long term on a scale so grand as to approach irreversibility. Don't the terms, "single-point failure" and "structurally astable" mean anything to you? There really are serious problems out there and best you learn before they grow too big to reverse. (Here's a clue: they aren't the things the greenies wail about; indeed, they make them worse.)

I was refering to the folks, mostly celebs, that promote hut living, manual labor organic farming as superior to modern day agriculture, yet wouldn’t be caught dead living in a hut, or tilling the ground by hand, horse and plow, or even with a tractor. Then in their next sentence attack slash and burn as destroying the ‘lungs of the world’ or some other such rubbish as they drive to the airport in their SUV, to fly to their next appearance, or from one mansion to another before flying to their 3rd mansion -all via their private jet.

Everywhere they look they see only problems, not the ways that the problems can be, or already have been overcome. All they do is make a buck at the expense of everyone, waste resources, and tell everyone else how to reduce carbon footprints.
