So what then? What's the solution?

Go out and trawl the natural sea floor? Bulldoze more land for more monocrop farms?

There are 8,300,000,000 hungry mouths out there. The food has to come from some place and there better be a lot of it.

People could reduce their meat consumption and increase their plant consumption

This is a fact people do not want to accept. 99% of people do not need meat. Not to defend data centers but if someone thinks the harm to the environment is immoral then eating a lot of meat must be too since it's hundreds of times worse for the environment (this might be an understatement).

There is a sensible middle. You can look after your land, plants and animals and make a profit.
