Moreover, livestock production consumes one-third of the total water resources used in agriculture (which accounts for 71% of the world’s water consumption), as well as more than 40% of the global output of wheat, rye, oats, and corn. And livestock production uses 30% of the earth’s land surface that once was home to wildlife, thereby playing a critical role in biodiversity loss and species extinction.
此外，畜牧业生产消耗农业总用水量（占世界总用水量71%）的1/3，以及小麦、黑麦、燕麦和玉米全球产量的超过40%。而且畜牧业生产占用曾经是野生动物栖息地的30%的地表，从而在很大程度上造成了生物多样性丧失和物种灭绝。
