Another efficiency-related thing do is increase [[crop yields]]. Especially in [[food/maps|places where yields are low]].


Other things that would help:
Sub[[urban farming]] & gardening can also help to some extent, but best case scenario, [[urban farming|could only contribute about 1/10th of the global food supply.]]
* Improving [[crop yields]], especially in poorer countries.
* [[Gardening]] and suburban farming.
* Greener ways to grow crops - such as [[regenerative agriculture]] - as long as [[crop yields]] are ''not'' reduced.


Things that could help in the future:
The current problems of meat could be potentially solved by [[lab-grown meat]], but this is nowhere near scaleable yet.
* [[Lab-grown meat]]


Things that probably won't help:
Different [[farming practices]] may also offer solutions. This wiki doesn't have enough information on this yet. Join the {{talk}} and help build this page!
* [[Vertical farming]]
* More [[grass-fed beef]]
* Organic [[monoculture]]
