It's no use, their brains don't function well enough to stop imagining cows as containing some sort of a black hole that sucks up water irreversibly. A cow ultimately holds on to no more water than the margin between the dry mass of its organism and its total body mass at any given moment. The rest of the water that they need to live is excreted and reabsorbed into the ecosystem along with the fertilizing metabolites the plants need. (Spoiler : plants hold on to water too. Their inedible parts hold on to water too.)

I think the biggest arguement is that the big corporations are feeding soy to the lifestock. But the soy that they are being fed is being harfested very carelessly by chopping down rainforests (because they have nutricious ground) and when they harvested soy as much as the corporations could they move on and chop more rainforest and let the damage they did behind without putting any effort in restoring the ground they 'sucked dry'. And even though the rainforests are not the earths biggest co2 filters (the algae are) it is very problematic.

The answer is always somewhere in the middle. Less food waste yes, make sure animals get the organic food waste to recycle. But less livestock is a positive. The non crop land tat is for growing grass could be planted with trees to absorb greenhouse gasses. The best solution is something called agroforestry. Combine widely spaced trees all throughout every type of land. You can still graze and cut crops around trees and they keep the soil healthy. Combining trees throughout all agricultural land is the key. Also the horrendous cruelty to intensively farmed animal's has to stop. Lab grown meat or total free range should be the only options.

21:09 I’ve spent time in South Africa in a region that grows large amounts of citrus, specifically oranges. It rained shortly before the harvest when the oranges were still on the trees, and this leaves a small water mark but affects the fruit in no way whatsoever. One farm alone had a few hundred tonnes of oranges that wouldn’t be accepted by European buyers, so they were just excess waste produce. Thankfully the farm gave them out for free to anyone who would take them, and the place I was volunteering took 8 tonnes of them to feed to the animals. Those 8 tonnes were a comparatively small truckload compared to some of the trucks taking them. It’s the perfect standards that produce is held to that causes the problems. Imperfect looking produce gets thrown away or can’t be sold in supermarkets. Sell by dates scare people into throwing produce that is a day over its date, despite it just being slightly lower quality.

I’m a Californian. The CA agricultural industry uses 80+% of the water here. While they now cut households once again. And our lakes, ground tables, reservoirs are all near depletion. In CA Orange County, Fullerton, there is a water reclamation facility that purifies black water for drinking use, but it has to put this water back into the ground table, and purify it again before people will drink it. But this black water purification is far cheaper than ocean desalination. Water reclamation facilities statewide should adopt back water reclamation. Btw, on the ISS space station, all liquids inclusive of sweat and urine are purified for drinking. Just saying.

Alternative solution : we should eat enough but not more than needed and reduce our food waste (like for example fast foods that throw away leftovers)and we should eat more locally. We should also stop wanting perfect fruits and vegetables leading to a huge amount of edible food being wasted because we are being picky. And also, eating less meat still helps the planet but its interesting to see that stats can be easily misleading and we should focus our attention on how our society acts vis a vis food products.

I have always been taught to only throw food away if it is growing mold or if it could genuinely make us sick.

And about all the land cows take up, that could be valid in say the UK, but have you ever seen rural America? There is an unfathomable amount of unused land.

Very informative and usefull video, thanks for the work and research. I've grown in a place where there's a lot of meat production and there are some thing I'd like to add that I feel are incorrect from my research and experience. 1) rainwater is actually hard to collect and can only feed very little cows, farmers usually use normal tap water. 2) Most farmers use animal feed industrially producced that is not made up of what is waste from soy and wheat etc. 3) Eventho manure is a great fertilizer most animal manure goes directly to water sources and rivers in big industrial animal farms. Also I want to add that we cannot put the blame on developing countries. Check the origins of the meat you are eating. The global north is fed with the meat from the global south, so eventho they produce much more meat and in a less environment friendly way, they are forced to do so to feed the meat demands of the global north

One of the things that upsets me the most about this is how much food goes to waste before even making it to a table. Grocery stores and supermarkets throw out so much food every year, and a lot of that food is in more expensive things, like meats. Some studies are showing 43 BILLION pounds of food are just thrown away every year, all for the psychological effect of a plentiful shelf bringing people back to shop more often. Why are we so focused on the land used or the emissions of the food we buy while half of what stores sell ends up in landfills?!

But the amounts we eat, or better, produce definitely is not. Best would be If we all buy animal products only in small amounts (If at all) and If, watch where they come from :)

In an era where wildlife has been limited to smaller and smaller areas due to the fact that humans keep taking land, calling land not used by humans "wasted" is a really weird thing to say.

It definitely is weird but I feel like a lot of the surrounding areas of these lands that would be “wasted” aren’t those that a lot of wildlife could/would necessarily live on. Even tho these lands might not be fully developed, they’re close enough in proximity to developed areas that wildlife may not be as present anyway

@@mohsenvh3619 Thats why incrising the effinency (that means, kalories/unit land) is important. one way to achive this is by eating vegetabels, not the cow that ate 9 times as many vegetables to produce the same amout of food. (there exist vegetation and junk that can be used by animals, but not by humans directly. But the vast majority of livestock is feed by crops espacialy grown to feed livestock) And land not used direktly to produce food is not wasted. e.g. it can bind carbon emissions, sink water from heavy rain events, sustan species (e.g. bees) that are very relevent to our survival, and many aspects more that we do not fully understand.

It's awful just how much food does go to waste when people are starving regardless.

Yes. Here in Portugal if you produce more oranges than you should they will literally make you burn them all. It’s crazy. And a lot of people would be begging to have those oranges to eat. Not to mention we have to do our best not to waste food even if we can’t achieve perfection. I’m a vegan and once I accidentally bought something that had eggs on it. Even if it went against my morals I gave it to my mother because although I hate the consumption of eggs (and other animal products) I could never waste something merely for moral beliefs.

starving people in some developed country like USA can be solved, but if they came from undeveloped country like Africa, it may not possible mainly because there is not much farm there and transport food from developed country to there took a big cost

Unfortunately, trying to explain the realities of land and water use to "Progressive" urban termites, is pretty much impossible.

Not to forget the amount of wasted food supermarket s produce. Every food that is one day away from being remdered inedible should be sent to shelters and families in need, not thrown in the trash. It’s time we as a society respect our food the bare minimum

At the two grocery stores I frequent, when fresh food nears its 'sell-by' date, or begins to look less than ideal, the workers mark it down for quick sale, sometimes by as much as 50% off. I and my friends look for those deals, especially in the meat case. IMHO, the BIGGEST waste of food is at restaurants. So many eateries plate gigantic portions for a meal, more than many, nay most, folks can eat at one sitting. Much of that gets tossed.

Actually, the most water usage for crops, in the USA, is lawn grass. Between housing, parks, golf course, game fields, the random bits of beautification grass ( think of the patches in mediums, on the sides of expressways, inside parking lots) and it becomes the single greatest use of water

I hope you're not thinking of replacing that grass with concrete. There are better ways to use that space. Gardens use less water, better yet if it's a xeriscape garden or if native species are used, since they're adapted to the rainfall in that region. Gardens are better for wildlife, too (bonus points if native species are used), much better than a sterile lawn.

And even worse, a lot of lawn care is MANDATED by cities or suburbs. If you have an "ugly" lawn, you can literally BE FINED for not taking care of it forcing people to waste more resources on it. Honestly, lawns are one of the most unhealthy pieces of infrastructure we have. There needs to be a solution found to convert most lawns into something far more sustainable. Maybe something like using more hearty native wild plants that dont need as many artificial resources while also supporting more native ecosystems as most lawn grass is an Invasive species to begin with.

My father is big about not letting not letting food be wasted, and his mother runs a sheep farm. The sheep each alfalfa (hay), and you would never be able to consume it, and the sheep also live on mountains for weeks to months eating random stuff that again, humans could never eat. And if you know anything about mountains, is that they are horrid for trying to grow crops. The sheep also live in a desert for months as well (not like a super sandy one, just a place with little water). So if you aren't convinced from the video, this should be enough evidence to back it up. :)

In life, we have varying degrees of control. Veganism is 100% a choice. Not owning a car is perhaps less of a choice.

9:25 In the same paper, they also write that byproducts from crop production, food processing and wastes only acoount for 30% of livestock feed; the rest steming from agricultural land explicitly used for feed production. In the paper they do point out, that not all of this area is convertible into land for crop production, but a third would be convertible.
