It can certainly be a palatable diet, the wide variety of vegetables can be kept. It will be hard to convince Asians to eat much less rice though.

Moving people off meat & cheese would do a whole hell of a lot more than moving people off rice. There's also some interesting work being done on growing rice in brackish water which could turn some unarable land to arable.
- aeternus 7y agoFarming is also mostly an energy problem. Assuming cheap energy, you can create hydroponics that scale vertically. Highrise farms, and they could consume electricity during off-peak times when it is extremely low cost. Water is also not a problem, we are surprisingly good at treating water, can even turn saltwater into freshwater given sufficient energy.
