Adopting a plant-based diet can help shrink a person’s carbon footprint. However, improving efficiency of livestock production will be a more effective strategy for reducing emissions, as advances in farming have made it possible to produce meat, eggs and milk with a smaller methane footprint.

We also just destroy alot of land for crops. And withiut proper crop rotation which takes even more land, farming in general destroys many habitats. Plus there is pesticides and terrible run off from agricultural farms that leak into the food chain and cause cumulative toxins in both animals and humans. And with large scale farming there is the massive amount of deer, mice, moles, birds, insects, weasels, rabbits, shrews and more that are killed throughout the farming process. Lastly there is the almost slave labour and some time actual slave labour used to harvest and maintain crops. Modern farming is bad for the environment in general. Consumption practices aren't important. The whole system needs to change
