You can produce 10 times more protein by growing soybeans from the same size of land needed for live stock farm.(Wiki) It doesn't produce carbon dioxcide as a biproduct but consume it. Far more earth friendly.
Soybean industry has a future. Eat edamame, tofu, natto, miso, vege burger and use soy sauce.

"10 times" This is a very generalized number. If you are referring to cattle grazing land ( pasture ), then you need to realize that 9 times out of 10 pasture land is land that would be unsuitable for growing productive crops. Also, probably 95% or more of the total soybean production is used as feed for livestock. But if you want to eat that stuff that is totally fine with me!

"10 times" This is a very generalized number.."
Google, "Supporting Sustainability Soybean"
What info. do you have that against this?
"probably 95% or more of the total soybean production is used as feed "
Source?
Even if it's true, what this got to do with protein production efficiency?
Without data to back it up, all you got left is your personal belief.

@allgoo19 Sources would basically be that I live in a farming community and have manged the largest soybean crusher in my province. Other then that... well I could just google till i find a number I like and call it a fact ... but I prefer common sense ;)
Basically what I was getting at is that you have used a couple of assumptions that are not always correct.
Regarding "10 times" -- land used for grazing is NOT suitable for growing crops and the land required by a feedlot is not that big.

@ohreallyandwhyisthat Also, regarding the 95% used for feed..
I only really know what the soybean industry is like in the Canadian prairie provinces and northern Iowa, and N and S Dakota. I can't speak for the rest haha
The amount of conventional ( for human use ) beans grown has dropped to roughly 5% of the total beans grown in the aforementioned areas.
With only a textbook to learn with, all you have is old information for who know's what kind of sources. :-)
anyway.. I like the video

If you can't show the source of your info. it's nothing more than your personal opnion.
Anybody can make up their own "facts" and they don't have to have anything to back it up. You don't make an argument based on that.
Your commonsense = Assumption

"the land required by a feedlot is not that big..."
Land needed to grow the grain to feed them everyday x years before harvest the live stock. Live stocks are not 100% consumable by weight.
Let's say It'd take 10 yrs to grow haevest ready live stock. Harvest the live stock then measure the consumable protein. +the area to keep the animals.
Use 1/10th the area to grow soybeans for 10 yrs then measure the total amount of protein produced.
Got it?
