4. Manage the Nitrogen Cycle

Easy solution - eat less products that pass an animal first - reduces nitrogen pollution by 10x intantly, low tech.

I'd re-formulate: 4. Make people more flexible to changing their mindsets & habits - this is the ultimate problem.



In other words, a boil-the-ocean scheme.

Solutions that require a great many humans to change an ingrained behavior are usually non-starters.


Most agricultural subsidies flow towards those harmful animal products, giving alternatives a fair treatment with subsidies could induce a meaningful shift already. But again - political and thus hard on a non technical level


Easier to just make factory farms illegal no?
