No data I’ve seen supports that claim. In fact Vaclav Smil’s book “How to Feed the World” collects a lot of data refuting this claim.

If less land needs to be under cultivation this doesn’t matter. You can rewind or reforest old disused agricultural land.

reads one book about agriculture
I referenced one book. I grew up on a farm, I’ve read a number of books, and I garden.

Thanks for condescending.
