"If we combine pastures used for grazing with land used to grow crops for animal feed, livestock accounts for 77% of global farming land.
Of all the land we use for agriculture, 77% of it is used for livestock."
These 77% are only responsible for 18% of the produced calories and 37% of the produced proteins.
So, if you leave out water consumption and most importantly animal walfare, eating meat is the worst thing you can to for the environment (when talking about food).
