For example, at five people per acre, about the maximum possible sustinable
density for high intensity organic agriculture, Greater London can support
about 1/4 of its current population. Therefore the “land multiplier” for
Greater London is 4. (or possibly more if you count the skills of high
intensity agriculture as infrastructure)
