There down in Brazil, rainforest are being cut down at alarming rate in service to animal agriculture. It will be easier to preserve the Brazilian rainforests if there was some other way to grow meat that didn't involve huge grazing pastures for animals.


I don't think deforestation is for pasture? I thought it was for animal feed crops like soy


Is there is a meaningful difference between removal of rainforest for pasture vs animal feed? They both seem to be "in service to animal agriculture" to me at first glance.


The issue is that 60%+ of all crops are for animal feed.


It's done to renovate or create grazing land too.
