At the risk of sounding like a cynic, a lot of that animal intensification on existing pasture uses supplemental feeding with crops that the growing thereof also have a deleterious effect on biodiversity - corn-fed beef, or even worse, dairy cattle being fed palm kernel grown using slash and burn agriculture in rainforest regions.
Not to mention the faecal and nitrate pollution of aquifers and rivers due to higher animal numbers in a smaller area.
I think we need pasture... some interesting perspectives in this piece. I think we should probably stay focused on nourishment, as a society. Not the opposite, but thank you for sharing this propaganda.
There is another way, and you get to keep the beef:
