The whole "plant based" thing is based on the simplified Wall Street model of food based on misunderstanding of nutrition. For their purposes, protein and fat are just protein and fat whether they come from meat, milk, eggs or dairy... or if they come from grass seeds. If that was the case, it would make sense that we replace ALL animal agriculture with grain farming. Grains can practically be transported and stored for years very cheaply.
Unfortunately, plant foods do not provide us the necessary nutrients. ALL human civilizations and tribes had animal foods as a part of their diet. There is not a single tribe that survived on plants alone.
So, even if 99.99% of "farm land" was required for animal agriculture, we'd have to keep it that way.
