    I’m sure the fact that two of the biggest grain producers in the world are at war has nothing to do with this.

    Obligatory fuck Putin.

    So, we need better/more diverse GMOs, lab grown meat, and vertical farming.

      Or we can stop overengineering everything, stop raising meat livestock, stop growing cash crops in areas prone to drought, and go vegan.

        There definitely needs to be better farming regulation to make it more sustainable, but that’s really more of a California thing. Most countries are growing for sustenance, or have a rare viable climate for a crop like cocoa.

        Developing countries need more efficient, more pathogen-resistant farming, which is where we need new technology like GMOs and eventually vertical farming.

        As much as I hate recommending technical solutions to environmental problems, raising livestock for dairy, eggs, and meat has been a worldwide tradition for millennia, and I don’t think it’s practical to try to convince the entire world to go vegan. Lab grown meat solves this problem entirely, and once it’s viable, we can ban all animal-based products in supermarkets.

          maybe just a little? Veggie fridays for funsies :) You don’t need to join the church of veganology and shave your head.

          PS: Lots of cultures on Earth are able to make a kick-ass meal with veggies e.g. Indians, Italians, Tex/Mex, Buddhists, Egyptians.

          I want the populations of the planet, flora and fauna, to not die an agonizing death due to climate change. That’s what is wrong with me.

          It’s not a matter of what we like, it’s a matter of what is necessary.

            Veganism is not necessary. Vegetarianism is not even necessary.

            If you can get the energy from a CO2 neutral source, you can have artificial meat grown in factories.
