>2.6. Deforestation Going vegan won't do shit for the Amazon rainforest because the majority of Brazil's beef exports go to China and Hong Kong[1]. The US or European countries each account for 2% or less. Basedbean demand is driven by oil[2]; the rest of the plant (80%) is a by-product that is exported as Chinese pig feed. Brazil is also a misrepresentative and atypical industry. Globally[3], cattle ranching accounts for 12%, commercial crops for 20% and subsistence farming for 48% of deforestation. The US use about half as much[4] forest land for grazing than 70 years ago.
