    world pop = 8.1 billion ~ 10,044,000,000 acres

    or about 40 million square km, roughly 3 times the size of russia

        there's 15 billion acres of land, and this doesn't count the sea or ancillary resources like urban farming, i assume. just to keep anyone from taking this data in a malthusian direction. 1 billion americans (as they are now) is a nightmare

          Agreed. I think capitalism hinders the adoption of those techniques though, and the billion Americans people are also all capitalism worshipers

      I would imagine in practice there's some overlap -- like, an acre of agricultural land meeting some fraction of input to several cities at once
