There is no 'they'. Beef production will not decrease for a long time. Or rather it will in years like 2025 (USA) when regional weather is adverse.

There is no 'they' forcing consumption of insect protein either. However I expect more to be used for chicken and fish feed. Describing that in positive marketing terms is somebody else's problem. Insects produce protein with remarkably low greenhouse gas footprints, and the good species are much more omnivorous than we are.

If a fella raised chickens outdoors, it would be a great challenge to prevent them from eating insects. That may be a marketing 'hook'.

 

I've been reading a lot of articles about VPD and Gs, at need, and I spare readers more details. But among today's was entitled:

"Magnetized water confers drought stress tolerance in moringa biotype via modulation of growth, gas exchange, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity"

Authors did not mention what magnetized water is nor how they prepared it. An article's Methods section normally would. I cannot being Journal editor nor among Journal reviews that gave that a green light. But happily for me, they provided no data about VPD and Gs, so I am not obliged to include it in my work resulting from all this reading. That would require an asterisk and some explanation I'd rather not write.

Magnetized water sounds oooga boooga to me, but until I read what it actually is ... not much to say.
