Over >50% of the space humans occupy is for agriculture. 3/4 of that space is dedicated to livestock/feed.

Recently I learned that plants like Bambara Nuts (africa) and Water Lentils (duckweed) have complete amino complexes and b12. They're probably not the only ones either.

There's also many pest/drought resistant perennial crops that are nitrogen/nutrient fixers that eliminate the need for fertilizers and pesticides.

I expect that the impending climate induced supply chain collapse of global agriculture will force people to return to these more ancestral, and arguably superior, food sources.

Huh, isn't duckweed pretty easy to grow?

Most things with weed in the name is going to be easy to grow. A lot of people with aquariums or ponds feel plagued by it. I love it for aquariums it's one of the few things that can out compete algae

Just watched a lady "grow" it in buckets of pond/tap water. It doubles in biomass every 48h. Literally just let it sit there.
