Easy, kill the environment to feed 10 billion so you won’t have to feed anyone eventually.
It really is a show of force or might what Dutch agriculture can do.
But there are a few enormous downsides: the focus is on production, not sustainability and in the long run it simply is not sustainable; there are quite some costs involved of which many are for the public while the profit goes to the producer (or the multinational behind the producer); though it is really impressive to feed that many people, the problem is not producing enough food but reducing the number of people.
