Yes, but he smart landowners will realize that the same farmers will now need to pay more, and have a less direct and shorter-term connection to the land.
The farmer will have less means, and less motivation to invest in proper fertilization & care of the land.
This pushes everyone to a pure extractive business model, and away from investment.
The result will be land that is worth less until it is worthless.
All for a few more bucks up front.
Capitalism is not solving any problem here, it is creating a massive problem. What's the solution when a massive portion of the arable land is worthless?
