    Half the farmland is used to produce feetstock for meat. So you cut meat prodcution you end up with more land for other crops.

      I agree, but that is not what’s happening with the latest bout of inflation: everything is getting more expensive, not only meat.

      Ideally, cutting meat production increases meat prices while decreasing other vegetarian alternatives prices. I wish that’s what going to happen, but that’s not what I see.
