Of the total area that is used by humans (Agriculture, Urban and Built-up Land),

  • urban and built-up land is 1m km²,
  • agriculture is 48m km²,

so agriculture is 48 of 49 millions km² used, that’s 98%. The remaining 2% are all streets and housing and other infrastructure together.

    your numbers are in per capita rates, but Asia is exploding in population, and still increasing in consumption per capita.

    I don’t think there is any reason to believe meat consumption is decreasing. it’s probably increasing

        saying it doesn’t make it true.

        if I’ve said something wrong, you can explain it
