      I don’t eat much of not industrial agriculture products, even local farms only produce fruits, and I would say they are also industrial (not sure where is the line)

        Cows and other farm animals need a lot of food:

        More than three-quarters of global agricultural land is used for livestock, despite meat and dairy making up a much smaller share of the world’s protein and calories.

We use a lot of land to grow crops for biofuels and other industrial products, and an even bigger share is used to feed livestock.
