I've seen this statistic before, and I will assume it's true.

But this is a pretty hefty "could" Yes, they "could," but what about growing and harvesting food, earning incomes, and quality of life?

I don't think it would be too good.

Seven billion times 1000 square feet...Is that 7,000,000,000,000 as in seven trillion square feet of land needed?...

Texas area = 267339 X (5280)^2 = 7,452,732,672,000 sq.ft.


But it really means nothing. build vertical and you could fit the population of the earth on Singapore. A 1000 sq feet cant sustain a person.
