No you're wrong Woody. From the production of red meat (cattle and sheep) worldwide, enough methane is released to make up roughy one third of all the (potentially damaging) greenhouse gases originating from human activity. Around about another third comes from power generation (ie coal/gas) and the other third comes from transport (planes, trains and automobiles). If we stopped eating all red meat there'll be less greenhouse gas (methane) produced but more protein rich crops will need to be cultivated. To produce enough high yielding crops, you need carbon intensive inputs like fertilisers and pesticides, however these inputs are carbon intensive to manufacture. Swings and roundabouts.

yes it seems a viscous cycle from a combination of lots of factors.

but what if you had a tech that reduced the need for as much fertiliser? You then reduce one input of waste into the cycle right?

because these plants are growing so efficiently they will need less fertiliser.

This could then also potentially reduce costs for these businesses too.
