Hello Benjamin,
You neglected to note how much reduced land would be needed to feed the
people already in existance. That is, the inefficiency of feeding
animals that then are fed to people would be eliminated, therefore, much
LESS land would be used for crop production than it is today. And, the
huge areas devoted to soy beans in Brazil could be eliminated, not
augmented.
Cheers,
Jim

This is especially true in places like Brazil. Where the rainforest is
being cut down and the water system is polluted by greedy land owners
& squatters. A big driver in this destruction is soybeans, used to
feed domestic animals and PEOPLE (ESP. VEGETARIANS).
