We do not need to make 100% more food.We need to stop supporting 1 billion livestock on this planet.There is as much as 40% of total land area being taken up by agriculture.We could use a small fraction of that number and still be able to easily feed everyone on this planet.meat consumption will have to decrease,no matter which way you wing it-wild game hunting will not be sustainable.If every American went vegan 2 days a week,we could feed the 60 million who will be famished this year.GO VEGAN!
Oh, and another thing, vegetables are not NEARLY as inefficient as the means necessary for transporting and preserving meat. No comparison.
