Vegetarian is more efficient than meat, but if we use every efficiency to increase the population, we end up hitting other limits to growth. What Norman Borlau

Vegetarian is more efficient than meat, but if we use every efficiency to increase the population, we end up hitting other limits to growth. What Norman Borlaug, who won the Nobel Prize for the Green Revolution, said applies here: "The green revolution has won a temporary success in man's war against hunger and deprivation; it has given man a breathing space. If fully implemented, the revolution can provide sufficient food for sustenance during the next three decades. But the frightening power of human reproduction must also be curbed; otherwise the success of the green revolution will be ephemeral only." Efficiency is tactical. Reduction is strategic. I spoke about this at more length in my podcast episode 183: Reusing and recycling are tactical.
