Food shock =~ meat shock. 95% of our agriculture is dedicated to raising meat. Cutting meat production immediately relieves any and all water problems.

- FlyingSnake 10y ago> 95% of our agriculture is dedicated to raising meat That's a really tall claim, and I don't believe we don't dedicate resources to grow wheat, rice, corn etc. Do you have sources for that?
- stuckagain 10y agoHow tall do you think it is, exactly?
- chiefalchemist 10y ago95% sounds over the top but it's certainly true that raising animals for human consumption is resource intensive. Yes, there is and should be a concern. The problem with predictions like this - e.g., "We need GMOs..." - is they presume we'll continue to be completely stupid. Yes, change is difficult. But it's not impossible.
- dTal 10y agoTo be fair, that's usually a safe presumption; any plan that ignores the stupidity of humans is doomed to failure.
- chiefalchemist 10y agoWell yeah. But we might have much choice this time.
