The trends are happening anyway. I don't think it has much to do with vegans.
When I was a child in th 1960s, a family farm in my region could make a decent living with 30 or 40 dairy cows. Now, 400 is considered an economic minimum, and that will probably grow to over 1000 late this decade. Similar remarks apply to other forms of farming and agriculture.
Complaining about vegans and the capital intensity of new value-add products is looking at a scuff mark on the stable door long after the horse has bolted. The unintended consequences came from our pursuit of ever cheaper food and international trade.
