Scientists Propose a Way to Feed 10 Billion People By 2050 Sustainably
We don’t need scientists for that. Today we barely scratch the surface in terms of what is possible in agriculture. The one thing holding better practices back is often that it’s not profitable to do so. As long as there is agricultural overproduction in the developed world, it does not make a lot of sense to throw a lot of money at a non-existing problem. But once food gets scared for real, prices will rise and those techniques are pulled out of the quiver very fast. The world can feed 10 billion, it can feed 20 billion, and much more than that. And there will be plenty of planets left for nature and what else. Time to stop the fear porn.
