Encouraging this alternative feeding system is another good alternative solution to vegetarianism.

Since the time of settlement in Canada, expanding agriculture has been the major factor in an 85% reduction of wetlands, with 95% of oats and 80% of corn produce used as livestock feed (Fox, 2000). Therefore, the destruction of bio-diverse landscapes, such as those in Canada, can be partly blamed on the meat industry.

A solution to this can be a greater promotion of a grass-feeding livestock system, in replacement of the current grain and grass system. Using the former system has shown to reduce energy inputs by about 60%, and reduce the use of land resources by 8%. Furthermore, this system would free up about 300 million tons of grain for export each year (Fox, 2000).
