Except... It's way easier and more efficient to produce plant based calories.

  That alone won't fix the issue. Also, what about fertilizer?

    ... Obviously? We're facing a threat to global civilization, so parden me if "that one thing that would help isn't sufficient" doesn't strike me as a particularly insightful or useful comment. Obviously we need to do lots of things. And also, what about fertilizer? Right now we're using it to grow too much corn to feed to cows and burn in cars. I'm saying we should do less of that.

    Fertiliser is a complicated topic, and at industrial scale probably does require inputs from the livestock industry; however, there are also many options for producing large amounts of biomass without livestock, they're just more costly, and probably don't work as well with large-scale, monoculture agriculture.

      Fertilizer is largely produced from oil.
