As you know this is going to be a complex tradeoff between all sorts of environmental impacts and resources used.
Water usage could be important as well as land usage for growing. Can a given hectare actually grow enough protein to feed people successfully? 😟🤷♂️

@simonzerafa@infosec.exchange in terms of land use there's less of a clear difference between poultry and plant based protein https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/land-use-protein-poore But we'd certainly be better off eating some of the crops we're growing to feed to chickens ourselves instead - 90% of the Uk's soy imports are for pig and poultry feed https://landworkersalliance.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Digital-Soy-No-More-.pdf
