There are alot of attainable ways to address agw in this generation. There are, obviously, alot of other problems that could also be solved in the same. It's not a competition. You are, even if you don't appreciate it, suggesting that we defer doing a while we focus on b when we don't actually have to make any such choice.
Here's how you start, buy everything you can locally from people actively trying to address the issue. That will, incidentally, address some of your b's just as supporting the b's can address some portion of a. It was once the case that the local market simply couldn't provide all of the things. Not so much anymore. The reason that it doesn't, today, is purely down to lack of financial support, and that...no other thing, necessitates global transport.
I live above 38 north....not so long ago that meant that a person -had- to buy x for at least some portion of the year from places south of 38. Today, however, I can grow tropical fruit year round...and the only reason that I don't...is that I couldn't sell it. Not only does this fact necessitate transport, it supports literal banana republics. I'm assuming they belong in the b category?
The US imports, and this is just last I checked years ago, 9 billionUSD in seafood, the majority of that in landlocked states (because coastal states have access to domestic product). Interior biofloc production means that we can cut that shit, and all of the misery that those markets produce out of the picture, and produce more while doing so at the same or a lesser pricepoint, to say nothing of the intrinsic pollution of the current industry. Pie in the sky shit...maybe people would eat more fish and less beef if they had the opportunity. Who doesn't want to cook healthier meals for their kids? It's a better use of space and a less exploitative metholdology all at once, that can save people money not just on their bills, but medical care.... while producing new jobs in a new market available to people traditionally left behind by progress. I could toss you a link to a transition in burley producing regions to melon prouction that demonstrates as much and at least in some areas (like mine) a person could produce burley or trout, tilapia, or marine shrimp. They choose tobacco because they couldn't sell the rest as easily. Mull that over.
-just tossing out ideas.
(in my utopian future this entire state is covered in ridge dams and, meaningfully, underwater...old coal holes are..I shit you not, the engine of production - within one days drive of 70 percent of the us population. So well positioned that no foreign or more exploitative industry or model could compete. The ultimate terminus of my production methodology is to intentionally flood my own land, lol - a goal that I could accomplish by literally doing nothing.)
