[industrial junk not included in models] Which comes to around 9.5 million hectares as a minimum this constraints with a tendency of in the pro - manufactured food literature to cite the minuscule footprint of the actual manufacturing facilities alone as the total land take of the method , which is a bit like measuring the land take of meat only in terms of the footprint of abattoirs and butcher's shops.

Or you could go down the manufactured food route and, even neglecting various energy costs, produce 1 kg of protein for around 20x more more with 100 kettles as the absolute theoretical minimum, or more likely about 70x more with 350 kettles as a 'real-world' minimum ballpark figure tipped rather generously towards the manufactured route.

National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS ) has found that a hectare of land devoted to protein - rich microbial biomass production energised by solar ( photovoltaic - henceforth PV ) panels could potentially produce 15 tonnes of protein per year whereas a hectare of soy beans, the authors report, produces only produces 1.1 tonnes of protein.

Eating habits have converged worldwide in recent times , involving a narrowing of dietary diversity across a handful of crops eaten directly or indirectly. This, he rightly says is mutually creates and is created by a global standard farm. He might usefully have added the concept of the Global Standard Consumer ' , and asked in turn how this creature has been made politically , and how it might get unmade .
