How’s it different from humans today?
Many people chose to live in the countryside, far away from cities. Even if it means long commutes which emit a ton of emissions, cost a lot and waste a lot of resources.
We produce far more food than we actually need. Most people in developed countries are overweight and we waste a ton of food to feed animals which is very inefficient.
The simple answer is that people like to live in the countryside and they like food (and especially meat, and real meat at that).
We could probably optimize our land usage and agriculture by an order of magnitude if we wanted to.
