We recently saw this news. Did you know that a cow pollutes more than a car? According to FAO the main sources of emissions are: feed production and processing (45% of the total), outputs of greenhouse gases during digestion by cows (39%), and manure decomposition (10%). The remainder is attributable to the processing and transportation of animal products. Livestock require a lot of land, occupying 26% of Earths ice-free land. Their pastures account for 70% of deforested areas in the Amazon, and their feed occupies one-third of global cropland.
