Mass-production versus home grown
Mass-production has a benefit of being more optimized for production because a company can specialize into research and investment into making as optimum of production for least supplies and carbon emissions. And, when home growing, you need spend resources getting extra water to your crops and you can't spend all your time refining your food production. But, these mass-producing firms are more easily corrupt and may start producing more fossil fuels and get away with it because them collapsing would cause a sharp decrease in food production and causing mass starvation depending on how big the company is.
