    True, however there are different ways to do it, I think its Denmark? that gets more than double the yield/acre than the world average utilizing a lot of greenhouses and what amounts to pretty much hydroponics lite. If half of agriculture land suddenly didn’t need to be used that way it would be huge.

      Yep absolutely! Animal agriculture is really the main issue when it comes to this and the amount of food we would have to grow would be much less if we didn’t feed most of it to animals to eat. Our economic system could definitely incentivize there being more farmers who practice more labor intensive agriculture to improve yields and reduce soil degradation and water use.
