The XKCD "Land Mammals" (https://xkcd.com/1338/) is an infographic that shows that humans and our livestock outweigh all other land mammals by a huge margin. We have been turning oil and wild biomass into humans and food animals. (We're also stripping the oceans of fish.)

Well, the crazy part will be when we really embrace eating insects (there's NO good reason not to). Then, we won't see increase in biodiversity, but we'll see industrially-farmed grasshoppers and crickets show up on a much more massive scale. And for all the other issues, it will be supremely better than cattle.
