Sustainability in 3rd world agriculture

But what about next year and the one after that and the one after that - when their wheat yields fall even more, when they have to go 15km instead of 10 every day for wood, when the old apple trees give up the ghost and havenā?Tt been replaced. Sustainable???? Clearly not. it certainly looks grim. The sensible thing to do in that sort of area is for them to diversify out of food production, get jobs where their labour will undercut European wage rates and buy food in. Even a part time job that paid enough to let them get a proper diet would help break the downward spiral.
