If you can buy locally sourced, pasture fed meat, then why can't you get locally sourced, permaculture grown vegan staples? Of those two option, I've yet to find a single credible scientific study saying that the plant based option of those two isn't superior.

You're also presenting pastureland as a viable option when there are tenfold superior ways which we could use that pastureland for almost every climate when it comes to carbon sequestration. 80%+ of deforestation world wide driven by the animal agriculture and the desire to create grazing land for cattle, and growing crops to feed said cattle[1].

Additionally, the idea of a slurry pits near my home, running off into local water supplies and ground water, and fumes affecting peoples respiration[2], do not seem like a sensible alternatives to a permaculture food forest.

I live in the UK where unlike most countries, our cattle are largely pasture fed as the norm. Half of farmland (which makes up about 70% of the UK), mostly uplands and pasture, produces just 20% of the UK’s food [3]. We could re-wild most of that if only people moved away from eating meat; including local, pasture raised alternatives.
