Skill in physics does not necessarily equate to skill in macro-biology. 'Genius' is relative to one's profession.
> As for nitrogen fixing and general soil fertility, what you need are turnips. This was worked out a long time ago in England. What you don't need is more and more fertiliser from oil/natural gas thrown on the land to grow crops to feed animals that get churned up into beefburgers, with the residue washing into the oceans to create uncontrollable blooms of algae, suffocating the fish below.
Turnips are gross. Most people don't like eating them. You will never win that battle.
Eating fish is not a compromise, it's a logical place you end up if trying to feed a populous without forcing them to eat refined foods.

The longest lifespans on the planet (well until the western diet came along and promptly reversed that within mere decades). If you want to talk logically, the most eco friendly approach is a vegan diet simply due to the inefficiency of calorie conversion through an intermediate species as opposed to getting directly from the source.
