Which brings me back to the one effort that will work, birth control and population growth controls!
But you are forgetting that going green is a political thing. You know it is worthless and I know it is worthless. However, the politician trying to score votes with say IA is going to tell you that it is a good thing for the farmers and going green, etc, etc. Reality has nothing to do with it.

Easier said than done.
