80% of the world's farmland is used to raise livestock.
It gives back just 18% of our calories and 37% of our protein.
One of the most striking numbers in food-system science. Full breakdown + sources:

In our latest Substack post, our lead economic and industry analyst Daniel Gertner dives into the science, innovation, and market potential behind plant-based whole cuts—and why they are essential to growing the alternative protein industry. Dig in: https://t.co/3oRMRKscPT
From avian flu outbreaks to climate shocks to policy shifts, supply chains are under pressure. For food manufacturers, reliability is everything—and proteins made via precision fermentation are emerging as a powerful and attractive solution. https://t.co/yaH0FvFIb6
The #AirPollution contributing to #climatechange is partly caused by burning down forests to create grazing land and plant feed crops for #livestock. In many countries, these fields are then burned after harvest. https://t.co/hmyeY5o7dl
The toxic #haze that blights northern #Thailand for several months each year is caused primarily by burning cornfields planted for #animalagriculture.
