    Factory farms have hundreds of cows per hectare.

    Surrounded by vast supporting fields which have none. Please, try to get a whole-picture view of anything before you post, don’t accost me with over-reductive narrow-focus BS, this is almost “The US has more people per capita” type of comical. Also, don’t just knee-jerk dismiss a link to a paper in Nature, of all journals.

    So if the total population of cows would go down to 0-1% of todays farmed amount, that would reduce the GHG emission impact down to a negligible amount.

    No. And if you read the paper, you’d understand why.

    You are inventing a problem that doesn’t exist to justify the continuation of factory farming.

    I’m opposed to factory farming. For other reasons. Biodiversity, for one.
