The big question is: How much animal protein could be produced if these were the '''only''' sources of animal feed?

{{dp

|pasture

<br />The number is mentioned in the Abstract: https://www.tabledebates.org/research-library/livestock-our-plates-or-eating-our-table

}}

{{dp

|world.population

|7.9 billion

}}

{{calc

|(pasture + residues) / conversion_ratio

|(grams/day per capita)(world.population)

}}

There would be no animal protein from chickens, pigs, or any other non-ruminant animals.

Also, there would be even less animal protein available if we [[rewilding|rewilded]] some crop land {{x|since we don't have to grow as many crops if we aren't raising chickens, pigs, etc. There would be less crop residue available for ruminants, so we'd have to raise fewer of them.}} or some pasture land {{x|either allowing it to become forest, or allowing it to become wilder grasslands which are less optimized for feeding cows etc. Both types of rewilding are beneficial in that they sequester more carbon than conventional pasture.}}.
