Yet restorative agriculture, agroforestry and permaculture all produced more food per unit land than industrial agriculture.

The latter produces less per unit land, but it produces an abundance of a profitable crop achieved by pouring petro-chemicals on plants. The numbers are astonishing because it's something like 10 fossil fuel calories bring one food calorie to table.

Agroforestry restores the biome responsible for a temperate climate.
