Oh well, less land producing food = less food = higher food prices.
For those that are left producing food that is.......

For food producers in 2030 you will probably have to ask red tractor for permission to spray and fertilise your crops and that’s if they have given permission to plant seed to start with

Seriously need to curtail the ever growing population then, I know easier said than done but it would help with climate change and all the other s**t we’re facing. Just two, you see these green do gooders five or six bare foot hippie kids running about, did I hear China had lifted there limit on children from 1 to 3?

How much environmental damage did the summit cause. For all it achieved it could have been done in 15 minutes over zoom. But instead of that we had stories of 15 ton armoured limousines, helicopters and an airliner ferrying one confused old pensioner and his entourage over thousands of miles and back. Some example that was.

I’d have to agree with you.don’t know how many lives have been lost via COVID but will be quite a lot I’d imagine.saw 6000 plus a day dieing in India.conspiracy theorists could argue its man made to reduce population,we will never know but I’m sure it’s man made

I suggested that, if we were going to have more people, we should at least put some effort into more selective breeding, and start using sire benchmarking / quality ai for all.....no idea why the response was so poor.

Will you be using a sweeper bull to mop up the tail Enders?

Simple - count up all of the pointless paddocks, life style blocks and stuff like that, and tell folk to stop pissing about on them and plant some flowers / trees / dig a pond. Job done.

Yeah war and disease in the past have accounted for a fair few, can you imagine if it ever got out that it was introduced to thin us out! There would hell on

Yup. I suggested that marriage was more for companionship. And that access to a higher performance seed or embryo benefitted all. As a stop gap before it can all be done in a factory. Why we want to keep producing jawless, scrawny dross is beyond me when "better" donor seed is easily available.

I suspect the UK is already there. Uplands and moorlands are more wildlife havens than farmland already.

And most farms have nature pockets (hedges, field corners etc) anyway

Be interested to see how they apply this in towns and cities though? HS2 to include wildlife margins?

That's what would have happened if Adolf had got his way.

Read an article a week or so back blaming increasing food costs on livestock farmers using grain to feed animals instead of using it to feed humans. Not a mention about turning vast amounts of the best arable land over for trees, biomass, houses, hs2 etc.

It’s certainly true that the scumbags are out breeding the decent folk

The fertile will inherit the earth. The meek are starting to realise.

30% of global land? I bet this is probably quite feasible, but getting the poorer countries to sign up to it will be an uphill battle. If you were a poor family in the developing world you would be cutting down trees or catching what fish or rare beasts your could as well.
