      there’s a continuous transition between growing current amounts of food and growing nothing at all. partial outage of sunlight doesn’t mean that there’s 0 food being grown.

        I can see your reasoning, but I don’t see how with no sunlight and scorched earth, more land dedicated to growing food that won’t grow on it is helpful. In that situation only indoor hydroponic operations stand a chance and only as long as they can get clean water and maintain power.

          Well how to put it … You know when a volcano erupts it will not be instantly and completely dark. It’s just dimmer like when it is cloudy. Therefore plants will still get say 50% light. If there rly is no sunlight, we will just freeze anyway
