Any plantation crop? As in all plant agriculture?

I suppose I mean like things that heavily forested areas are typically cleared to grow. Soybeans, coffee beans, etc.. there are some more sustainable plants and stuff to pick from and some that are horrific in their land use

From my reading, it seems that eating less meat, particularly red meat, is the best way to reduce your impact. So much of deforestation is to grow soy, corn, etc for animal feed. Not to mention space for those animals to graze.

Oh yeah I just assumed that was common knowledge at this point that’s my bad. If you’re gonna eat meat you should probably hunt your own
