A comment on Humans and our livestock account for 96% of all mammal biomass. Parent comment
Habitable land ... 50% agriculture, 37% forests, 1% urban and built-up land
Agriculture ... 77% meat and dairy, 23% crops
We would need just 25% of agriculture land we're using to feed the world on vegan diet, no shrinking necessary.
But on the meat diet? We'll shrink for sure, just you wait. We'll diminish and go to the west.
