Human food crops could have been grown instead, on a fraction of the land.

human food crops are grown. soy is a great example. about 80% of soy is pressed for oil, and the byproduct is fed to livestock.

most people don't want to eat soy cake, or crop seconds, or spoilage. feeding that to livestock is a conservation of resources, not a waste.

the vast bulk of the food they eat is grown agriculturally.

sure, but I can't eat cornstalks and I don't want to eat soy cake, so feeding that to livestock is a conservation of resources.

most of what animals are fed are parts of plants people can't or won't eat, or grazed grass. in that way, we are conserving resources.
