we are living in the age of global convergence . what is local is also what is global. it isn't what is global today once a mere local? what and who is to prevent what you call local from proliferating and metastasizing in to a global fad and global delicatessen in time? and when and if that happens what is to prevent it from large-scale farming and the land grab you mentioned to grow and overgrow to cope up with the prevailing demand? perhaps the answer lies in technology scaleable to demand and not dependent on cleared land mass, but as there are tale tale signs in vertical farming and controlled environment farming which could possibly enable humanity to leave the natural jungle to the wild and restrain itself with in the confines of the concrete jungle of its own making .

Some very good thoughts and points. I'm most certainly intrigued by the idea of expanding further into urban gardening so that we're removing ourselves much more from interference in the natural environment. I've seen some brilliant ventures on that front. A rooftop garden in the city which provides much of the plant foods for a nearby restaurant.
I can't imagine being completely confined from nature, however. That would be heart breaking.
