Are the people supposed to eat rocks? Agriculture takes a lot of land but people need to eat.

If anything agriculture is going to require more land in order to be sustainable.

People do need to eat, but over 80% of the Dutch agricultural produce is being exported.

Also, good portion of it isn't even meant for human consumption. Think flowers or cattle feed.

This is not about feeding the population or about sustainability. It's simply about profit.

well duh let's just import food from elsewhere (and completely ignore that foreign politic squabbles might crash this system)

		It's not like countries that import the majority of their calories have frequent food riots or anything.
