    Transition to irrigated only production combined with moving to EV and we’d need 75% less land for corn. While still eating the same amount of meat.

    Banning open range and converting to annual crop rotational grazing would decrease land usage for grazing by 70-80%.

    Moving all vegetable production to protected culture would decrease land area needed by 50% or more.

    Around 70-80% of environments we destroy for farming/ranching is completely unnecessary. We have the technology and ability to grow what we need an less than 25% of the land area we currently dedicate for agriculture.
