Originally posted by GreenLabel View PostPlenty of stuff is grown in Africa and Australia already. Build dams, irrigate, expand. It's not always drought proof, but then nothing ever has been. Yet somehow we're still here.
That aside, there's still the option of more efficiently using the farming we've got. Compare the stuff they're doing in Europe these days in terms of yields from the land with what's going on in Africa. Bring all of our existing farms up to the standards of, for example, the Dutch, and you'd have more food than you knew what to do with.Comment

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostCurrent farmland isn't sustainable, let alone awkward farmland. First of all you've got to find an energy source, because modern farming practise makes a net energy loss, even with the sun's input, and fossil fuels aren't sustainable. A mind boggling huge energy source.
Okay, so some of it is a bit pie-in-the-sky, but it's early days and it shows that there are new, creative ideas emerging and advances being made. Some will fail, others we haven't even contemplated yet will succeed.
It's a mistake to underestimate mankind's ability to innovate and adapt.You won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.Comment
