I vote for basic replacement. However, if people want to not have kids, that's fine too. There's way too many humans on Earth as it is and the only reason why 75% of the species doesn't starve to death is because we artificially increased the amount of food that we produce by doping the very Earth with poison.
In addition to the financial implications, that's why we're stopping at 2. We get kids, the kids get a sibling, and it's a little below replacement level.
to be clear, this only really changes the amount of food produced from a specific harvest, GMO foods are what you are closest to here, but those have very few downsides.
The primary issue here is centralized farming, if we were to decentralize it more, it would be vastly more economical.
