Christ, how far have things come
- wolverine876 5y agoI understand your point now. I didn't realize that your last sentence referred to human-managed 'wilderness'. Anyway, what is your solution? Starvation doesn't seem like an option.
- RGamma 5y agoWhy starvation? Is there nothing between being adequately fed and starvation?
- wolverine876 5y agoWhat solution do you recommend?
- RGamma 5y agoConsumption patterns will have to change. Regulate the supply side with land use restrictions and restoration of natural habitat; introduce subsidies for underdeveloped and emerging economies to prevent further ecosystem degradation out of economic necessity. With a set limit on land use, market prices would adjust accordingly (i.e. meat price rises), consumption will reduce (accompanied by some whining) and food innovators get more time and market share for sustainable alternatives.
