If I may: The point is that the current generation of farmers is expendable to humanity. The ability to continue to generate food is not (as you alluded to in your own fallacy above).

If farmers are rapidly destroying their and our ability to generate food the way we have in the past millenia (by depleting soil, overusing water reserves, accelerating loss of critical biodiversity, and encouraging climate conditions not conducive to farming), we should maybe not be listening to their whining.
