The US has way lower population density than the EU, and even here there's plenty of space. And you don't need much space to grow some veggies.

- ahartman00 10y agoIm not sure what you mean by plenty of space? I know when Ive had my urban friends over to my parents house, they all remarked about how empty it is 'out here'. But it is not empty, that farmland is in fact being used. Maybe things look different in my chunk of the world, I do come from a community that is largely agricultural. you dont need much space to grow some veggies, true, the point I was trying to make is that replacing an acre of veggies with a house and .1 acre of veggies reduces the total supply of food(since good, farmable land is limited). Given the demand for food is rising, the impact on the price of food is somewhat predicable
