In general that conventional farming and they way we grow and source our food is archaic and needs a massive rethink. Also attitudes need to change.
The growth of livestock is currently twice the rate of our population growth. We do not have the space or resources to keep the current rates of growth. Estimates are we won't be able to feed ourselves at some point this century.
Science is the way forward for me. Using new ways/techniques we can create enough food to meet total global demand from a space the size of Iowa.
They can create identical meat without all the negatives of conventional meat farming while also taking out all the bad parts in the meat that are no good for us but keeping all the good stuff. So reducing all saturates etc. that we know contribute heavily to heart disease, some cancers and others illnesses/diseases.
The domino effects of doing one good thing lead to many other positives. In reverse the domino effect of doing one bad thing leads to many other negatives.
It wouldn't take too much of a change to create meaningful movements in the right direction. Create that movement and it snowballs.
Something also not known, is that the global livestock emits as much CO2 as cars... also, read about the impact of all that livestock poop and how it completely destroys the land they live on, making it useless for farming for decades !
