'Cost effectives' when not counting all the costs of monoculturing all the things. Or transport.

Most "cost effective" things are only that if you don't count Negative Externalities.

The obvious example is fossil fuels.

Yeah sure, if everybody else is enduring and/or paying for the bad side effects of the way somebody conducts an economic activity, it's "cost effective" for those doing that activity that way.

Subsidized cost effectiveness.

I think the hypothetical here implies transport would still exist for a primarily home-garden non-industrial agriculture replacement system. Or do you think the whole world should suddenly stop trading? Might as well since we're writing a fantasy fiction, anything goes.
