    Agriculture doesn’t have to break down. We will probably have to start farming vertically though, which needs a looot of energy. But it should also be more sustainable since we can grow everything closer to where people live.

      I love the idea of vertical farms, especially with being able to use physical barriers instead of pesticides and herbicides, but I do wonder if it can really replace the hundreds of millions of acres currently used for farming in the US alone.

        Well, a lot of that is used for feeding animals, so if everyone would go more or least completely vegan, you’d need a lot less of those farms.
