That's crazy but makes sense too.

When I biked from Amsterdam to Antwerp in ~2014, it was difficult to not run into a village every few km.

I guess there's no cheap enough real estate left to grow the massive amounts of soy, cow corn, and hay to feed the animals.

Since it's such a huge source of climate change GHGs, pandemics, antibiotic resistance, and air, water, and soil pollution, perhaps globally we need to scale back dairy and meat agriculture.
