Why 1 billion people hungry? No problem!

Agriculture and soil. Pollution control, soil remediation, humus and new agricultural techniques.

after the fat cows, it will be the lean cows.

Unless you give up the golden calf? : Cheesy:

So, do you have a biblical culture?

A strand, of course; it is an essential cultural reference in this part of the globe. I once read the Old and then the New Testament. I later tried the Koran but then I stalled ... it is not very easy at first if you do not have the "codes".

If there is no problem with meat, there will soon be genetically modified biological structures (we can no longer call them animals, because a headless cow ...)

All its joys are in preparation in the laboratories, and are only waiting for the ecological point of no return to prevail, for public approval we will come back ... hunger justifies the means!

I did not find any great differences except on certain specific social points, but hardly on the theological level when you know the first two well! The problem is more in the form, in the formulation.

thank you for this site that I will communicate on a VG site to see the reactions!
Otherwise the article repeats the main lines of what I expressed here.
According to them, this would meet the food needs of a growing population - and more and more fond of meat - while protecting the environment.

But we are a long way from industrial production quantitatively replacing what is currently consumed and in the years that follow.

When it comes to creating a new market (which here would number in the hundreds of billions, given the possibility of patents) believe me that things are likely to change very quickly.
There remains the approval of the public ... using the traditional devil's strategy this should be possible:it is more ecological, it causes less suffering for animals etc., or even an ... economic or ecological crisis!

Where I admit being impressed is the desire to want to create chimerical solutions when it would be so much easier to encourage people to eat less meat.

I read the document and noted, without astonishment, that the sad condition of animals reduced to the state of merchandise was only mentioned very very discreetly!

The last book of Jean Ziegler: "mass destruction; geopolitics of hunger" must be interesting on this subject.
