No, in my scenario only half the farmers were wrecking the forest anyway. That did not change.

Perhaps, but also higher costs. They may still be less ethical then the unethical farmers.
- fulafel 8y agoAh, thanks for the clarification. So the gist of your concern is that pre-existing naturally occurring sustainable production might get windfall profits- but and the demand is not enough to change the remaining production. This is analogous to the situation in electricity n markets and hydro production btw. Old hydro dams built in the 50s produce power for customers paying extra for "green power" and the money doesn't go to investments in wind/solar.
