    Well yes, but that means 8 billion people will be a bit of a snug fit on this planet, don’t you think?

    And we had sustainable food capacity up to 1859.

    There’s no more bat guano either.

      Propping up an unsustainable system through resource extraction and technological innovation without contextual relativism doesn’t just magically make it sustainable.

      It comes down to climate resilience, deglobalization of produce markets, and creating the political will to build localized, worker-owned food production and distribution systems. Yes that will mean paying out the ass for bananas, but it’s better than watching children choke on smoke while they ask you why it has to be like this.
