Animal agriculture uses 3x more land than plants.

Do you really think that those things you've listed (water, pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, displacing wildlife...) are solely a problem for plant farms? I must have misunderstand you.

We could save 75% of those lands. https://ourworldindata.org/land-use

And a lot of the plants we grow are to feed livestock.
