@DW2 and the bad takes in the replies! amazing!
> You got it backwards: reducing cattle (what Netherlands is doing) increases the amount of food available for human consumption because the land is then used for wheat etc.

so, plow over meadows (which are also good habitats for various species) where nothing else like corn or wheat will grow without putting in craploads of _additional_ fertilizers. totally reasonable!
cows in europe are tradition because they can convert grassland into food.
@bonifartius @DW2 only if they use marginal land.
And I hope the ppl demand more vegetables!
