Big fan of Black Soldier Fly farming and there are efforts with grasshoppers. Not sure the featured article (TFA) issue extends beyond the few people working in production (increasingly automated [1]) because the output is a dry meal flour.

This, Seaweeds, and directed precise fermentation are a big part of the 10B+ people solution.

I think people generally agree now that the world population will decline well before 2100. So maybe sell your house before then.

A better solution is not to have the problem in the first place

Any ideas about how to achieve that? An n-child policy? Forced sterilization? Property size limits? Maybe you'll just be kind and suggest punitive taxes.

"U.S. Population Growth and Family Planning: A Review of the Literature" is still the best collection of potential methods, as far as I know despite it's age.

Make people wealthy enough to live comfortable lives and get educated.

Marginalize the people who get in the way of that goal.

Hey, at this point I tried deleting my account, but couldn't find it in the UI. Is it even supported?

Anyway, can you give me a hand and ban me instead? Your help is much appreciated!

Alternatively, one of you could move to an underpopulated area, and we can all stop consuming beyond our wildest needs.
