    Speaking of resources, I do not recall the exact number, I believe it was around half of Earth’s population today is fed by artificial fertilizer production.

      Which I guess would mean that a whole lot of people would go hungry if we stopped doing that.

      I’m not suggesting that there is something inherently evil about artificial fertilizers, but the scale of use is likely a problem.
