I agree it's not surprising but this not a convincing point. I'd expect "plants" to mean very different things in A and B. Not the same plants, not the same quality requirements... I'd expect almost everything to be different between plants-for-humans and plants-for-animals agriculture.
- zekica 4y agoIt is not different. The plants are different, but the energy spent is not that different.
- pwinnski 4y agoPlants grow from seeds, take water and sunlight to grow, etc, regardless of the type of plant or the eventual use thereof. Use weird pesticides on plants you're growing to feed to animals, and not only do said weird pesticides end up in the water supply that's used for other plants being grown to feed to humans, but also they end up in the animals to which you feed the plants, and therefore in the resultant meat. So when pesticides are banned, they tend to be banned for all uses, not just "plants grown for humans" uses.
