Quote:Btw, regarding possibilities for efficiency, from the chapter Food from meat we learn that 8% of the world calorie intake requires 1/3 of all arable land to produce animal feed.Only if you feed your beef the same food you would feed people. As I indicated in my dissertation of raising beef cows. You can raise Grade AAA beef with a minimal diet of corn, pasture, non-human digestible veggie protein, vitamins, minerals. Farmers are lazy and tend to think that the best food produces the best beef. Not true. And, there is no need for using steroids, or growth hormones using my methods.
My next project I think will be fish farming. :)
