In the red dirt of Wakea, School of Earth Sciences researchers are digging up clues to Hawaii's lost agricultural traditions. The practices, which supported a large population on the island before the arrival of Europeans wiped them out, could serve as a model for sustainable farming today. Filmed and Edited by PF Bentley.

We're going up by about 1 billion every 10 years, so try 9 billion in the next 16 - 20 years. 10 billion in 30 years. A decrease in the rate of reproduction is not necessary. Instead we need to increase our efficiency. We can, and do, convert electrons into photons and have multilayered agriculture. Skyscrapers, caves, those are only the beginning. We're going to decrease the density of the crust as we expand the volume of this planet and reintroduce billion year old strata to the biosphere.

Nine Billion human population, wow, just wow. That area they are at on the Kohala mountains is definitely among the top 10 most beautiful places on the planet. It is real and thankfully being protected.

I was hoping to have more details... Is this research only in it's early stages or do they have any findings to share?
