are distributed, and the extent to which we adjust our consumption by reducing food waste and going to plant-based alternatives to some meat and dairy.

The idea of devoting half of Earth’s terrestrial surface to rich, intact forms of nature has stirred conservationist imaginations in the last few years. It’s an inspiring vision, simple yet powerful — yet between the idea and the reality is plenty of practical
uncertainty. What would it mean for food production, which currently represents the single largest human land use?</div>
