Not OP, but I think the effects of modern meat production are well known.
Especially when we apply higher standards on how to take care of farm animals, there's simply not enough room to fulfill "the meat needs" of an ever-growing population in the world.
On the other hand, plants are fine with being stacked and raised by artificial light sources and finely setup nutrient solutions and whatnot. So by changing our food (production) chains to more plant-based, industrialized systems we can reduce the space needed for food production and also the economical and ecological impact.

Current farming output is way more than enough to sustain us all several times over: https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets
- Ekaros 3y agoHmm, stacked and raised... Artificial light... That sounds like how eggs are produced... Broilers are not stacked, but I suppose if land was at premium like in downtowns it could be also be done in skyscrapers...
- martin_a 3y agoYes, but plants are not breathing, feeling animals.
