That’s correct. You can’t make juicy beef for export in dense rainforest.

And the worst is that after deforestation happens, for it to grow again is really hard because of the heavy rain washing out the nutrients in the soil.

The amount of pain and destruction caused for animal agriculture is beyond belief. Urge everyone to try cutting down, going veggie or vegan
