That 46% is land whose biodiversity and ecosystems have been intentionally crushed for the meat industry.
100 % or this chart is made up of food we got by intentionally crushing land for the meat Industry. It shows how the food we feed livestock is spread across different feeding sources, not the land uses by said food source.
