      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.

          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.
