Hydroponics vs Malthus :

When Malthusians were claiming the end is near, it was time for the arrival of fertilizers in the 60s. Food production boomed geometrically. proving his theory wrong for some time to come.

But that still has an end, right? There's a limit how much a given area of land can output food in a given time -- the later articles read.

And now : who uses land for food production anyway?

I was watching a video on youtube how a cattle farm in BD was producing cow feed using hydroponics. Layers of layers of vertical steel trays. No soil or fertilizer needed. Only watered continuously. And 1.5 kg of corn, turned into 8 kg of green grass in 10 days. No artificial lighting, no green house. Just open space.

That's how BD can produce enough cattle feed without any land. And where from did they learn the technique? They said from youtube!

Thanos can wait a bit longer before his snap.
