Could humanity’s hoofprint overwhelm nature?

Humanity’s global footprint is greatly affected by food and the way it is produced. Agriculture already occupies nearly half the useable land surface of the planet – 80% of which is devoted to meat and dairy. As an equation, humanity’s footprint has three components: the number of consumers multipl...
