Is subsistence farming really ecologically devastating as environmentalist and Whole Earth Catalog Creator Steven Brand claims?

Asked by kevbo (25672points) September 23rd, 2009 from iPhone

“Cities draw people away from subsistence farming, which is ecologically devastating.”

This seems counterintuitive (which is the thrust of the interview- a counterintuitive solution), but is it true? Does anyone have an educated opinion?
