Thanks for the introduction to the concept of Feed Conversion Ratio; that's a useful measure.
That led me to look for comparisons between FCR for poultry and cultured meat, and so far this report[1] seems informative.
Selected quotes from the report, as relevant to the topic of (land-use) efficiency:
"These results suggest that alternatives to the current mix of livestock production systems could substitute current animal products and substantially reduce the current agricultural land use footprint from food production."
"Although, the two most efficient products considered, i.e. imitation meat and insects, both come with consumer perception barriers, a shift towards poultry meat, eggs and milk was also found to offer land use and associated environmental benefits, of only slightly smaller magnitudes."
