“On the new map, new farming areas for major crops are added in the United States’ midwest region—referred to as the corn belt—as well as in the Sahara desert. This new farmland would replace large swaths of agricultural land in Europe and India, which would, in turn, be restored to natural habitat.”
“Additionally, the “redesign”… would erase the need for irrigation entirely, relying instead on natural rainfall in wet regions to keep the crops growing."
If we as humanity were able to work all together we’d be able to achieve unseen things.
Also: all those tasty grains and legumes 😋
I don’t think Europe or India would find “rely on food grown outside your borders” to be a tolerable state of affairs.
The generated maps have a “within national borders” redistribution also, which I think accounts for this concern?
