Reply to comment by collin-h in Cellular agriculture and other emerging food technologies could release 80% of the worlds farm land currently used for meat and dairy production back to nature by DannyMcDanface1

Agreed. Farmers will whinge and cry how their livelihood is being destroyed. But if someone could find a way to help them transition the land use and continue to make money, that would be best.

The other problem is that reducing the number of farms will increase the mega Corp owned farmers. Damnit, its like every solution comes with different problems.

Just like artists are doing now (regarding the whinging)

Right? the amount of pearl-clutching I've seen in specific subreddits is ridiculous. All their arguments ring out hollow and boil down to them thinking AI art is "cheating"

the megacorp farms would also go to this way though through following the money. they would also probably make a like grandpa made boutique real food brand though. Impact on the independent farmer seems indeterminate?

More land for housing, maybe walkable communities, but also they could be switching to soy, wheat, or whatever inputs are still needed the most.
