The Earth would be better off if we went back to foraging. You're right that agriculture could be the wrong choice for life on Earth. It may be the beginning and end of civilization.

Your assessment of the negative end result of argiculture is rediculous. Not only for the reason you pointed out, but also by any method in which we measure happiness. Having beautiful landscapes untouched by man is really pretty, but completely unhelpful when they _can't_ be touched by man. I care very little for places I will never go, as does the vast majority of the world. No volume of propaganda will change that fact.
