I have the impression (as a person uneducated in this topic) that current levels are already too high, and the world population is only going up.
Is there a way to produce more food with lower emissions or should the main target be a steady population? Or both?
I know some people who started eating insects and stopped planning for kids because of this. Me? I'm just confused.
- johnydays 5y agoWorld population is largely a strayman, it's mostly about rising standards of living. Animal consumption per capita increases drastically as poverty dissipates, and sharply declines as people get educated about health and the environment. It's a race between those two pressures that determines the cattle population. Projections are that it will increase very, very drastically as middle eastern and african countries soon escape the poverty line
