@kudra@aus.social We basically bought ourselves 3ish years by doing it this year but I think the future (for us at least) is likely to be destocking by about half, utilising fallow and cover crops, and bringing in a mob of cattle once or twice a year to eat and poop.
Which we can do because we're small and not reliant on intensive production for our livelihood. Not sure how those who are will cope.

@Tatjna@moo.nz yup. this was going to happen eventually, given fossil fuels are a finite resource, but I really thought we had more time to transition (and we still might, depending exactly how much infrastructure has been destroyed in the gulf, and how long it takes to rebuild, if it ever is). Meat and dairy are going to become a /lot/ more expensive in the coming years though.
