Hari: Re the future of agriculture: I plan to deal with the questions you raise in future articles. For now, I'll just say that the dominant model of industrialized livestock production is unavoidably dangerous to human and animal health, and should be eliminated.
You are correct that the UK BSE-JC epidemic originated in contaminated feed. But it would not have spread so rapidly if the animals who ate the feed were not embedded in a mass production system that guaranteed wide transmission. For a more extensive account/analysis of the wider threat posed by industrialized livestock, I highly recommend Rob Wallace's powerful and insightful book, *Big Farms Make Big Flu* ( https://monthlyreview.org/product/big_farms_make_big_flu/ ).
