Yep absolutely! Animal agriculture is really the main issue when it comes to this and the amount of food we would have to grow would be much less if we didn’t feed most of it to animals to eat. Our economic system could definitely incentivize there being more farmers who practice more labor intensive agriculture to improve yields and reduce soil degradation and water use.

Capitalism is largely responsible for climate change. Deforestation and aquifer depletion are more directly linked to population growth. Communism wouldn’t magically make industrial agriculture go away

Check out the documentary Tomorrow (2015) it was pretty optimistic!

I feel that. I’m going through a divorce right now and I am losing everything. My house, my dog, my wife, my country. I also fear what a Trump presidency will do to our planet. I am here in the void with you, and I can hear your screams. You matter to me. We are surrounded by fucking idiots, and I feel a little less alone thanks to your comment. Something within you motivated you to make this comment, to ask for help. Hold on to that. I hope you will stay here.
