> Also, from your link, it is clear that livestock AND fisheries produce 31% of the agricultural greenhouse gasses, while crops produce 27%, so not that big a difference.
I'm not sure which part you're referring to. But a big chunk of crop that we grow is directly used as animal feed.
- anhner 5y agoDo we really feed the cows the actual whole soy plant? That sounds incredibly wasteful to me. Or is it just that the parts of soy that we can't eat (stalk, leaves, husks, discarded beans after processing into tofu/milk/etc.) that comprise 80% of the plant, while the rest we consume ourselves?
