Campaigning against battery-farming is all very well. But better by

The truth can no longer be dodged. Livestock farming gobbles up
agricultural land, water and energy that could far more efficiently be
devoted to growing food for people to eat directly.

This "efficiency" argument is bullshit, and has been refuted long
ago. People don't eat undifferentiated calories; they eat particular
foods they like. The *correct* measure of efficiency is how much of a
given kind of food can be produced for a given amount of inputs.
