Meat's probably never going away, so is there a way we can incentivize the production of cleaner meat?

Yes, by making the retail price reflect the true environmental costs of producing it.

And if that means that the supply is drastically curtailed (as it inevitably will be, as we increasingly recognize that the environmental cost is simply too high) - then so be it.

And then suddenly you would have trouble from lobbies and all kinds of pressure groups. And the price of this experiment, as always, would be paid by the poorest.
