The problem is much more than how things are produced, it's what you produce in the first place. There is no way to do things at scale that does not turn into factory farming or make the environmental impacts even worse. This whole study talks about even some tiny changes making the emissions significantly higher

Per capita production levels and thus consumption levels have to change if we want a better world

    Why does "per-capita" production need to decrease? Is it really the best course of action to have the population of earth be infinitely growing and then respond by constantly decreasing per-capita consumption? What's the endpoint?

    Copying my comment from earlier in this thread:

    Per capita consumption of animal products have risen significantly over the past few decades. Even if 0 new people were born starting this instance, there will still be large populations for decades to come


    Should we just sit around waiting for decades for a population to decrease to eventually happen and let the environment burn in the meantime?
