Nice ^_^ One final thought. I mentioned that scale depends on multiple parameters:
Current human population
Expected growth in the human population
Current animal production per capita
Expected change in the production per capita
You account for 2,3, and 4 with a separate variable “expected growth in animal production” which would be something like “projected number of farmed animals in 2050 divided by the current number of farmed animals”. And then also have a variable “Current human population”. I think it makes sense to split because these two variables matter for different reasons, and someone may put weight on one but not the other.
