Society has been built upon a house of cards. When a basic requirement of life (i.e. food) is dependent on a non-renewable resource, we set ourselves up for an inevitable breakdown unless we change course.
It’s probably that in some areas, they need to use fertiliser that’s based on biproducts of fossil fuel production, or that’s the electricity the farms use.
Though honestly pretty much every farm uses tractors and stuff that runs on fossil fuels too

TBH I thought it was closer to 9 billion but that could be a rounding error.
