That’s not an argument against dedicating existing cropland to human food production. The GP isn’t talking about pasture and rangeland. Just the huge amount of cropland used to grow feed for animal ag. And while we’re at it, let’s reform the ~40M acres [0] cropland used for grazing back to growing human feed. Then we can take the 127M acres of crops used to grow animal feed [1] and also dedicate that to human feed. All while reducing the animal populations and helping with the overgrazing happening on ~50% of range and pasture [2]. And to pre-empt the argument that food animals are fed the byproducts of human-consumption crops, go back to [1]. But yes feel free to feed them the byproducts… it’s just not going to be very much of their calories.
