Quote from my latest extra-curricular reading

..it is incumbent upon us to devote all necessary attention to developing a sysytem of farming based upon human needs, rather than upon the ease and convenience with which crops can be grown." -Edward Faulkner in A Second Look

I'd add to that farming system, that is should resemble natural systems (or "as nature"). For as we allow our system to become "as nature", rather than fighting it, we will eventually find it easier and more convenient.
