The lifestock industry alone is responsible for 15% to 20% of the greenhouse emissions, so wiping it out would make huge impact on it’s own. Even if you forbade just cattle it would reduce 10% of global emissions.
Cows only convert 4% of the protein they eat into meat, and industrial level production relies heavily on agricultural production for that protein (most soy is produced to feed cows, for example).
If we removed industrial meat production, we would need far less farm land and consequently have less emissions from agriculture. We would also not have so much deforestation.
cattle get maybe 7% of the global soy crop, and most of that is the industrial waste from pressing soybeans for oil. we press some 85% of the global crop.
Yes, you have a lot of terrible points, it’s no surprise people like to dig into your history to see what other shitty points you have made.
I would love to see what study you have that shows that only 7% of global soy goes to cattle. Any research I have seen says that 70-80% goes to animal feed. Yes it may be processed for oils but that does not mean that it is not a protein source that is going to animals, when it could be going to humans.
The fact that you have a giant combative disclaimer on your profile about what you do and don’t tolerate in discussions tells me all I need to know about you. Call it stalking if you like, but it doesn’t make you right.

Plus the emissions from agriculture moving to something else, still need the food.

almost no soy goes to cattle at all. and the vast majority of soy is pressed for oil. the waste product from that process is what is fed to livestock.
Almost no soy goes to cattle is one of the most fallacious statements I have ever read.

edit: omg. I have another stalker

wait until you look up our world and data’s stats on soy end use
Or you could actually provide the study that proves it?
actual victim blaming now. I didn’t make you stalk me.
