The climate-related food crisis is a consequence of overpopulation, causing the destruction of huge areas of natural environment by animal farming in particular and intensive chemical agriculture, both highly polluting (16 November 2024, p 44).
The constant quest to defeat nature with chemicals, intensive farming, genetic engineering etc. only offers stop-gap measures. Eventually, the house of cards will collapse. The maxim “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” is a reality being ignored.
