And current levels of production are the very stressors that are eroding the planet’s carrying capacity. When you have so much land taken up for agriculture, which poisons with herbicides and kills anything that gets into the fields and pollutes the waters with fertilizers and eradicates any biodiversity with monocultures, where is the room for a healthy ecosystem?

Again - CONUS has less than 2% “untouched ecosystems”. This is largely to mostly thanks to agriculture. It should be 80% or more.
