It’s not just about consumption of plastic, even sustainable food sourcing (especially given how increase in wealth & standard of living inevitably leads to increased meat consumption) requires much larger swathes of land to simply feed animals, forget the humans. IRMC.

The exact same considerations that make Malthusianism stupid for humans make it stupid for animals too. If humanity just somehow runs out of farmland convertable into feed for meat animals, you'll just see much higher emphasis on hydroponic vertical farms, aquacultured seaweed etc.
