If in high CO2 rice grows 10% better, you can use only 90% of your land for rice and still get the same amount of rice. And then use the freed 10% of your land

If in high CO2 rice grows 10% better, you can use only 90% of your land for rice and still get the same amount of rice. And then use the freed 10% of your land to grow some other, super nutritious plants. Perhaps you end up getting more food and more nutrients from your land.
