Soy is used for oil cooking and biofuel. Once oil is extracted, what is left, soymeal is then given to livestock. So animals recycle a byproduct that without them would be useless and difficult to dispose ofpic.twitter.com/4ferCbfeLE

Meal isn't a waste byproduct "By 1981, the meal was worth 69% of the total & the oil was worth only 31%. Thus, since shortly after WW2, worldwide demand for soybean meal has been the driving force in world soybean production"(History of Soybean Crushing) http://soyinfocenter.com/books/196 pic.twitter.com/V34NEloRfm
not just soy. it is a joke in Iowa that a farmer could starve with a farm full of corn - because it is grown for livestock and not inedible for us. and biofuels. a whole other topic.. won't go there.
And people will argue that, because that feed isn't edible to us, it's therefore cost-free, when, in reality, what's important isn't whether the feed is human-edible, but the land used to grow it and what it could otherwise be used for, agriculturally or indeed non-agriculturally
Wouldn't that image on the left suggest that only 7% of soy crops are grown specifically for animal feed. The rest being byproduct?
No, that initial 7% just relates to whole soybeans used as feed. Most of the soya used in feed is the meal, which is a co-product of oil. But since the soya meal contains most of the economic value, it's been the main driver of global soya productionhttps://twitter.com/awright4645/status/1223612886842531840 …
"cattle/sheep consume 86% of the energy from all the world's farmland" That's your daftest figure yet...
None of these figures are "mine". I'm quoting the Union of Concerned Scientists (@UCSUSA), who are in turn citing "an important review paper by Pete Smith et al. published last year in Global Change Biology"
