So it's inefficient like hell and causing a shit ton of greenhouse gasses. Have a look at the impact of some of these foods: https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food#explore-data-on-the-environmental-impacts-of-food
agriculture is only about 20% of our emissions and we need to eat. i'd be fine if it were 100%.
You'd be fine with it being 100% even if it only needs to be 3% or 4% instead of 20%? Nice.
if we eliminate every other sector's emissions, then agriculture would necessarily grow as a proportion, even if the absolute emissions stayed the same.
