	The idea that we can return to hunter-gatherer societies (or abandon technology in general), is probably '''not''' sustainable, not green, and not viable for our global population of nearly 8 billion people.

The idea that we can return to hunter-gatherer societies (or abandon technology in general), is probably '''not''' sustainable, not green, and not viable for our global population of nearly 8 billion people. Here's some evidence why:
# Hunter-gatherer societies existed when the global population was less than 1/10th of what it is today.
# Agriculture was invented because it was more productive (per unit of land) than hunting/gathering.
# Today, hunting & fishing restrictions are needed to prevent animal extinctions from over-hunting and over-fishing.
# Indiginous people {{x|or more specifically, people who get most of their food from hunting, foraging and fishing}} are less than 5% of the global population.
All of this points to one likely truth: It takes too much land to feed a person via hunting, fishing and/or foraging. Agriculture {{x|which doesn't have to be monoculture}} is the only way to feed {{x|generate enough food for}} today's global population.
