I want to go into the amazing things that happened to our local food systems when we protect farmland, but first I'm starting with the literal big picture. This map was created only last year by the US Geological Survey, and it's the first one of its kind and what it shows that bright green. Is all of Earth's cropland all 1.87 billion hectares of it. And that's about 14% of the Earth's land area except excluding glaciered areas. So, we're already cropping 14% of the land surface. We also grazed another 25%, so about 39% of the Earth's surface. The non-ice surface is already being used for agriculture, so if you ever hear that old joke where you know the alien comes to earth, then they inevitably meet a farmer. It's actually pretty likely 4 out of 10 times they're going to land on a farm.
