As long as that sophistication is geared towards reaching capitalist targets, all it does is enable them to ruin the land through "tragedies of the commons" faster.
Whether that's desertification because you're pumping up more groundwater than rain can replenish, nitrates continuing to exist after they leave your land, pesticides giving your customers cancer, insecticides causing a collapse of pollinator populations you rely on for crop yields, crop pandemics due to a lack of genetic diversity, or something else, modern capitalist farmers have a lot of fancy tools for destroying the planet and leaving society vulnerable to starvation.
