from the viewpoint of TFA, meat is a way to (very lossily!) harvest the solar input that goes (over summer months, anyway) into extensive grasslands (inedible by humans in its unbred state), and gather that over several years into a package which (no external refrigeration needed!) transports itself to market/slaughter.

Some centuries ago most of it has been converted to “usable forest” where people grow food and wood. Today it’s only crops and ~natural~ grassland for cattle.
