Submission statement
With cellular agriculture and precision fermentation on the brink of becoming mainstream it really does seem like we are at the start of a food production revolution. Being able to produce the foods we love using a fraction of the land would allow us to rewild and restore habitats that have been lost to farming. If this technology can undercut the price of conventional meat and dairy it will be a win for both the environment and farm animals.

I struggle to imagine a world where people/companies/whoever are just gonna take their land and turn it back over to the wilderness. But it is a nice thought.

Agreed. Farmers will whinge and cry how their livelihood is being destroyed. But if someone could find a way to help them transition the land use and continue to make money, that would be best.
The other problem is that reducing the number of farms will increase the mega Corp owned farmers. Damnit, its like every solution comes with different problems.

Just like artists are doing now (regarding the whinging)

Right? the amount of pearl-clutching I've seen in specific subreddits is ridiculous. All their arguments ring out hollow and boil down to them thinking AI art is "cheating"

the megacorp farms would also go to this way though through following the money. they would also probably make a like grandpa made boutique real food brand though. Impact on the independent farmer seems indeterminate?
More land for housing, maybe walkable communities, but also they could be switching to soy, wheat, or whatever inputs are still needed the most.
