It's orders of magnitude less destructive.

We have to at least try to make an effort and not give up and "enjoy the status quo while it lasts"

It's going to take work - giving up before trying isn't going to help. And telling others to give up won't either.

I'm not sure you've ever been around industrial scale mono-cropping agriculture. The amount of pesticides, fertilizers, and herbicides is astronomical.

And you are worried about a little cow poop? Which is natural and beneficial to the soil? Have you ever heard of regenerative agriculture? That is what I practice.

We live in such an alarmist society one can read a few headlines and think the world is going to end. Or think they are educated about a topic.

Great for you that you do regenerative agriculture. You realise that the amount of money you needed to get to a point where that's an option to feed yourself is impossible to accrue for the vast, vast majority of the population? And - while not knowing your exact situation - I doubt you make a living off of this.

So it's a little off topic - regenerative agriculture is not going to feed the world. It's a little "I got mine, fuck the next guy" kind of thinking - not meant as a jab.

We're not going away from mono crops and fertilizer use anytime soon.

It's trivial to show that to feed animals, we have to grow food - monocultures actually. So not raising animals lets us grow less food - less fertilizer. We also cut down transportation of the feed, heating for the animals, running costs, and excrement production.

I am well aware that growing plants is not a clean, pure and friendly thing. But raising animals multiplies anything negative you find about growing plants.

(And about alarmism - I'm not reading headlines, I'm visiting farms, working on them and chatting with farmers, scientists and lawyers on the subject. I'm not just telling you to watch Cowspiracy or whatnot)
