(Created page with "Suppose we successfully stop food waste and make the food supply more plant-based, so that we can feed the world with '''half as much crop land''' as the status quo. The other half could be rewilded in any suitable way (grasslands, forest, etc). How much carbon could that sequester? {{light|There are 2 parts to the "how much":}} # How much carbon ''per year'' during the beginning years? #* <small>'''For scale''', this should be compared to the worl...") |

But rewilding could probably store a lot ''more'' carbon still (and also increase biodiversity of course).}} | ||
