00:02 Hi there.

00:02 This question is actually made up of two questions.

00:05 The first one asks about the rise of industrial agriculture.

00:13 An industrial agriculture refers to large or super farms.

00:19 We don't have the small farms.

00:21 We don't have the mid -sized farms.

00:23 The farms are huge.

00:26 They are vast, consisting of thousands of acres, and are farmed more and more with machinery and automation.

00:36 Therefore, one thing they're doing is pushing out the smaller farms.

00:41 So we are seeing an increase in income inequality.

00:45 Another thing they're doing by pushing out the small farms is increasing unemployment rates.

00:51 So the thing that is not a consequence is a decrease in unemployment rates.

01:06 And if the tasks that would be done by employees on smaller farms have been automated, automated in the industrial agriculture.

01:16 So a decrease in unemployment rates is not a consequence or outcome of these industrial agriculture.

01:27 You do get cheaper prices.

01:29 Some would argue that those come at a cost because there's a large amount of pollution caused by these farms, both to water and land.

01:37 There is over -farming that takes place, which destroys the land and causes erosion, etc.

01:44 So there are cheaper prices on the goods that are produced at least...
