    There are too many people for us all to hunt our own meat, and the same amount of farmland that can feed x amount of livestock can feed significantly more people than the livestock would.

      Not all crops are created equal.

      Crops intended for livestock are way easier to farm, require less water, less pesticides, less fertilizer, and less taking care of.

      Many times crops intended for livestock are a necessary part of rotatory crops. As they tend to be easier on the land.

      Farming is not as easy as “you can grow anything in any given land”.
