They are efficient (cargo vs fuel consumption). They also go through my regular car's full gas tank in about 30 seconds. Less ships means less fuel burned. If we produce locally, transportation is not needed.
Still just 2% of global CO2 emissions
While animal agriculture is responsible for 20% and eating plants directly instead of feeding them to animals first would use 75% less land which means we could grow forests at here that store carbon.
The original commenter here just conveniently ignored that though.
all of agriculture is only about 20%. animal agriculture is a subset of that. don't lie
Every peer reviewed study on it says between 14.5 and 19.6% is animal agriculture.
