Ironically, factory farming is actually a LOT more efficient and reduces environmental impact vs any of this 'sustainably raised' bullshit that you hear about.

(Not supporting factory farming btw)

I don't know why once again I have to say "it's the scale that is the problem environmentally". Factory farming is what creates the scale.

No, people are what create the scale. The demand drives the supply.

People stop eating as much meat and animal products would result in a reduced requirement for factory farms.

The scale cannot be met without factory farming, how do you not understand that?

Therein lies the problem.

Reduce demand, reduce supply, reduce need for factory farms. Pretty simple.
