    And of course the land couldn’t be used for anything else… like natural ecosystems.

    Just because land exists doesn’t mean it needs to be pillaged to feed our desires.

      Most ranchland is, in fact, a “natural ecosystem.” They just send cattle out to graze on it.

      The point I’m making here is about food efficiency, though, not about land use.

      Are we just going to ignore the millions of acres of vast grasslands that supported like 50 million buffalo in the US 200 year ago? Healthy grassland ecosystems and ruminants are a thing.

      Exactly. Nah, we just gotta have man made monoculture everywhere, or a desert, right? So that, in the end, it just amounts to deserts anyway. Yay. 😶
