    The author overlooks the key fact that while 44% of the world’s habitable land is used for agriculture, livestock & their feedcrops account for 80% of all agricultural land use, with crops for humans accounting for just 16% of that surface.

    Almost all Amazon Basin soya, for instance, is for export animal feed (EU, China esp). The bulk of the rest is biofuels.

    The trick is to eat the bean before it gets to the cow (or pig, chicken, fish++).

      This article on the uptake of beans in the West needs a correction. It seems to imply that while the "green revolution" trends as overall good for the planet, it comes with the cost of nitrogen-based fertilisers poisoning our atmosphere, oceans and rivers.

      It's not so cut and dried.. (1/2)
