This bears in mind the fact that human populations are increasing exponentially and show no sign of slowing. But again, is this more in the context of poor animal husbandry and poor management practices, or are you actually legitimately referring to Regenerative Agriculture in such statements?

According to an interview conducted by Dr. Oppenlander with Simon Stuart, PhD, chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission:“Habitat loss from grazing livestock and feed crops is far and away the most pervasive threat to terrestrial animal species, impacting 86 percent of all mammals, 88 percent of amphibians, and 86 percent of all birds. — Louie Psihoyos, Oscar-Winning Director of "The Cove" “ A documentary that will rock and inspire the environmental movement. Instead, check out the positive work that real farmers and ranchers are doing Meat (including offal) provides the most complete and nutrient-dense food for humans. Additionally, using any agricultural database regionally, nationally, or internationally, one can calculate that on average between 10 times and 100 times (in weight) more plant foods (vegetables, fruit, grain/nuts) on one acre of land than from animal products raised on that same acre of land, regardless of the level of fertility of that particular acre of land, presuming it is the same acre used for either product, animal or plant based. Films & Media. Livestock can be grazed more than well enough and help sequester carbon and promote biodiversity and help prevent fires and so on and so forth without this “need” to convert any land–especially land that’s already wildlife habitat and except land that should never have been put into annual crop production in the first place–to, as you put it, “suit livestock globally.” I’m sorry and no offence but I really don’t agree and think such a sentiment is completely ridiculous.“Simply” having land with perennial vegetation that is adapted for having grazing animals–which constitutes over 2/3’s of the Earth’s land surface, mind you–and which is managed a whole lot better than it has been in the past (which has lead to problems like overgrazing and overresting) is a far better deal and a far better means to promote and maintain the presence of these so-called “naturally occurring plant and animal species” (or do you mean native rangelands and native wildlife) using a highly useful proxy such as the domesticated herbivore. explores the impact of animal agriculture on the environment, and investigates the policies of environmental organizations on this issue. Sad that you have drunk the Kool-Aid. In addition to the monumental habitat destruction caused by The US lower 48 states represents 1.9 billion acres. I don’t wish to further insult you by assuming that you don’t know anything about regenerative agriculture because you could make a similar assumption about me knowing nothing about animal husbandry and welfare practices in CAFOs which couldn’t be further from the truth (and you may know more about regenerative agriculture than I could ever surmise from a simple comment from a total stranger).

Far too commonly cattle have been grazed in a set-stock continuous grazing system that is undoubtedly deleterious for the landscape and undoubtedly takes up more land than it should; also undoubtedly it completely undermines and heavily, heavily underutilizes the potential of a piece of land to grow a lot more forage (regardless if it’s labelled “native” or “tame”) to graze a lot more animals than previously thought. x 77.0 m.) = 66.99 million lbs.Broiler Chickens produce (.5 x 1.74 b.)
