Global cereal production has grown much faster than population in the last half-century
This line chart shows the growth of global cereal production, yield, population, and land use for cereal production from 1961 to 2023, indexed to 1961. Cereal production increased by 250%, surpassing population growth, which rose by 164%. Cereal yield grew significantly, while land use for cereal production remained nearly constant. The chart highlights that higher yields, not expanded land use, drove most of the production increase. Data sources: UN FAO (2023), UN WPP (2024).

There is no scientific evidence for any meaningful climate benefits of "grass-fed" beef, as many people, including myself and @gnrosenberg.bsky.social, have long been saying. This news study in PNAS further strengthens this point. newrepublic.com/article/1637...
