Research has revealed that reallocating croplands away from fuels and animal feed could boost food availability for people by 70 percent.
New University of Minnesota found out that world’s croplands could feed 4 billion more people than they do now, just by shifting from animal feed and biofuel production to exclusive food for human consumption.
Even a partial shift from crop-intensive livestock, such as feedlot beef, to food animals, such as chicken or pork, could increase agricultural efficiency and provide food for millions. A shift from crop-intensive beef to pork and chicken could feed an additional 357 million people, and a shift to non-meat diets that include eggs and milk could feed an additional 815 million people.
