and what kind of ecological footprint it has
there is no way to sustainably grow food to feed over 7 billion people
That doesn't mean you eat beef all day
most of the nutrients in the soil have been depleted over several generations
"The world is going to shit. So let me start a forest fire"
basically you still get calories but hardly any other nutrients
This is how most right wingers think
many crops are increasingly becoming empty calories
Lol wut?
gmo crops even prefer less nutrients over more calories
they get bigger but less nutritious
That has no scientific basis
how do you think food gets the nutrients that it provides
from the soil
if it is no longer in the soil it has no way to acquire them
The soil is just a medium
#save_the_iraqi_people
The soil doesn't have any intrinsic nutritional value
yes it does
retard
the soil itself is dead organic matter
You can literally grow crops on a toilet paper dipped in nutritional solvent
You ever heard of crops being grown hypotonically?
and where do you get those nutrients from for nutritional solvents
soil usually down the line
Dude take a botany class already
What is hypotonic cultivation?
soil serves as the bedrock for all nutrients in the ecological system
It's a medium
Not saying isn't an important medium
But it is not a prerequisite to growing anything
If another artifical medium can house nutrients and animal life, it's just as good
you still need the nutrients initially extracted from soil to grow plants in water based solutions
No you don't
There two kinds of nutrients crops need
the nutrients you put in the water don't come from thin air
Macro and micro-nutrients
they are coming from the soil
Crops have been grown in water using just these nutrients
