Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No, not with modern agriculture. Lot of fertilizer and pesticides and processing and transportation that produce lots of emissions.
Processing and transport is actually a relatively tiny portion of emissions. Take a look at the graphic - on most of them you can't even see the bit representing transport. Eliminating any and all meat production is way more impactful than any finessing you can do with crops.
To be clear, industrial agriculture can and should be done in a more sustainable manner. Crop rotation, cover crops, 'striping' fields with wild space, field rotation, etc. There's gains to be made there, they're just quite small compared to literally any improvements in animal ag.
