Super cool study!

I think it’s imperative that the scientific community take the first steps in developing methodologies that can be applied at a global level. A truly unique opportunity to do things right at least pertaining to scientific scrutiny.

What methods of farming were these findings based off of? Did you split it up by region? Basically what I’m asking is, is this finding assuming that we’re farming each bit of land to its maximum potential or just with the methods we currently employ regionally?

I have a vegetarian friend that says if we were to all eat plants we’d have plenty of food because we wouldn’t lose energy in the transfer through trophic levels. I’m sure you have some insight on this. How much energy would this save? To be nutritionally balanced we’d need high protein crops, chicken is pound for pound the highest protein rich substance we consume. Could it really be that simple to just cut out meat and grow more beans? Or is there some merit to the natural biological processes that can take something like grain feed that we give to chickens and turn it into protein?

Cool that you’re working with current yield data. I just know that land can be cultivated or it can be mechanically cultivated and the production ability of the parcel changes dramatically. I would imagine that using the cubage of land (tower farming) and in general considering for economic growth and change the situation might not appear so grave.

Thanks for hitting at least one of the questions I know it was a lot

Totes get what you’re saying. Each portion of land has its best use!

Can inspect proteins be processed and used as substitute for other proteins sources? Like can a cricket not look or taste like a cricket? Lol
