That has been tried with illness (covid, flu, cancer, heart attacks) but people came up with a way to prevent the deaths, we have famine but people ask for food, we have dirty water but people ask for money for clean water.

Yeah, can look a lot but not all is arable. But unbuilt on land can be home to wild life and a sponge for rain.

There are people and I am one of them that own land just to prevent building, irrespective of planning rules. I am pretty sure there are others in the village just the same.
I think last year one chap spent 16k planting trees, about 4,000 of them I think on his land and he seems to have quite a lot of it.

Lets hope whoever takes the land on in the future is also altruistic!
