      That infographic doesn’t make the distinction between arable land and pastoral land. I.e. there are areas we can’t grow crops but can feed ruminates. That breakdown is like 30/70 from the agricultural section of the infographic. FAO Source

      Meaning even if every cow was dead, the crop number doesn’t increase

      your argument is disingenuous.

      you’re blurring the lines between livestock and crop farming when I made it perfectly clear they are independent of each other.

        They are not independent of each other though. We wouldn’t need nearly as much crop farming if it weren’t going to feed livestock
