QED. I'm sure if you bother to research this you'll find many others.
If you stop and think about your question more deeply I think you'll unask it.
Organic produce farming requires manure. Something like 1/4 of the land mass of the USA requires grazing animals to maintain an ecological balance.
That manure and those animals are requirements, not luxuries.
Sustainable produce farming requires sustainable animal farming, because nature is inherently symbiotic.
- specialist 10y agoOk. I'm being a dick. I should calm down. I apologize. I should have replied "Sustainable ranching is harder than you'd think." I might remove my comments this afternoon, after you've and had a chance to see this apology. I've worked with ranchers to conserve wildlife, especially apex predators. Indeed, I predict ranching will become a niche source of protein as vat-grown meat comes online (20 years) and taxpayers decide to stop subsidizing it (10 years?). The draughts, draining aquifers, and scourge of wildfires will also make ranching less viable. But I can't guess the timeline of climate change on ranching. If you've met any (independent) ranchers, you'd see they know their world is coming apart.

No problem. > I predict ranching will become a niche source of protein as vat-grown meat comes online (20 years) and taxpayers decide to stop subsidizing it (10 years?). Even if all of this comes to pass, why will the resulting ranching industry be unsustainable?
