Great purpose, so-so execution.
Land isn't free. When agriculture isn't as efficient as possible, we take land away from other critical needs - and animal agriculture is incredibly inefficient.
First third of the book feels like a biography for a random individual, but persevere.

Mention of cloned meat (I think that technology has a lot of promise).
Author believes numbers don't support organic farming, vertical farming, regenerative farming. Might be right: I would like to see more sources on that. -
