How do we keep people fed after shutting down farming (at a reasonable cost)? The entire thing seems anti-human…

Nobody wants to shut down all the farming, just reduce it. For example, the Netherlands produces 250% of its own meat consumption. Since it's subsidized, the net financial gain is very low. You could say reducing the production to 125/150% of consumption would leave enough for local consumption plus a little export in good times or a buffer in bad times.

Unfortunately, big agricultural companies hired a marketing company to start a political party which claims to be pro local/small farmers, but is actually just pro big agriculture.

Eating less meat?

The questions are mainly targeted at the consumption of animal products: meat, dairy products and eggs. Their research shows that reducing the consumption of animal products, and therefore switching from a meat-eating to a vegetarian or vegan diet, reduces land requirements by two-thirds.

Not everyone even has to stop eating meat. Just reducing meat consumption to 1-2 days per week would go a long way.

The project aims at shit to no only a portions of the farms, and especially one from the meat industry. They’ll still have plenty of food.
