Beef requires significantly more land and emits more greenhouse gas per gram of protein than plant proteins, but this statistic is misleading due to land use.

“beef requires 20 times more land and emits 20 times more greenhouse gas emissions per gram of edible protein and common plant proteins such as beans and they go on they make this little asterisk they put this in here and while the majority of the world's grasslands cannot grow crops or trees imagine that the majority of the land that cows that beef is raised on cannot grow crops in the first place so why do we care if it uses more land if that land can't be used to grow anything else”
