No, the alternative is changing agriculture, regulating it and helping it be more environmentally friendly, and not alleviating environment taxes on fuel and water. Tax pesticides, too.
Well, these are both alternatives. But I like your one more, let's work on that.
If we regulate it and tax pesticides, then in a global market system, wouldn't those areas fail to compete with other countries that don't have those regulations?
>regulating it
Why no one has thought of that before? Problem solved!
