What if you don't get your feed from the rainforest? I'm confused with the cause and effect of your statement.



Most crops grown are for livestock.

We grow so much that we've stated to deforest the amazonas for it.

You will never be able to feed mainl seaweed, nor by grazing alone.

The advantage of soil protection from grazing is thus negated by the additional feed production.


This is utterly false. About 20% of livestock feed is fodder crops and grains. The rest is grass, leaves, and plant matter by-products such as crop residue, oil seed cakes, etc. All things that are inedible to humans.
