[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7682277, member: 718"] I was the first [by far] to mention the RethinkX organisation on here [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.rethinkx.com[/URL] It is very far from being a propaganda organisation. It analyses the likely financial, social and logistical, political and industrial implications and disruption likely from technology innovation. It tries to forecast the direction and speed of change and the changes that are most probable due to those changes. Not just in agriculture but in most areas of commerce and life. Here is a taste of what their report on food production is about... [COLOR=rgb(85, 57, 130)]"By 2030, the number of cows in the U.S. will have fallen by 50% and the cattle farming industry will be all but bankrupt. All other livestock industries will suffer a similar fate, while the knock-on effects for crop farmers and businesses throughout the value chain will be severe. Rethinking Food and Agriculture shows how the modern food disruption, made possible by rapid advances in precision biology and an entirely new model of production we call Food-as-Software, will have profound implications not just for the industrial agriculture industry, but for the wider economy, society, and the environment." I[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]t should be very obvious to all those that expressed initial doubt when I first posted about this that the trend towards the forecast is accelerating and on target. Indeed it could be argued that there is a political agenda already pushing us down this road and making livestock agriculture more and more difficult and costly, certainly in the UK and, when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, worldwide.
