"World Economic Forum–adjacent thinkers call for a 'farm-free future' with food primarily manufactured via precision fermentation and other scientific processes that result in products like lab grown meat ... How did the environmental and conservation movements become so divided?"

The existential question is: in ten years will it even be possible to have conventional farming and will we be forced to make food synthetically.

Good article.

I was already resolutely on Savory's side of that argument for sovereigntist and systemic-risk reasons.

But Monbiot's "industrial food" thought-bubbles don't make any sense from an industrial point of view either. Where's the energy coming from to replace solar-powered broadacre crops?

Monbiot's plans can only be implemented if everything else is banned. And even then, Ukraine and Israel are proof that Western leaders can't compel the Global Majority to join either their war crimes or their Jonestown mass-suicide proposals. Thank goodness. But I personally live in the West...

Great point about the energy inputs required for industrial food.
