The whole understanding of how agriculture can contribute to global warming is very complicated. Because there are three main types of greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Even though pie charts show that carbon dioxide is released the most, nitrous oxide is the worst of them all because it is hundreds of times more potent than carbon dioxide and can last over a hundred years unlike methane (10 years). The more cattle used, the more land for crops to feed these animals are needed; this also means more nitrogen fertilizer (one of the many causes of nitrous oxide is released) may be required. The use of such fertilizer can be reduced regardless by using the right type along with a balanced soil microbiome which is achieved via avoiding farming methods that disrupt the microbiome (like tilling and monocropping). However i also believe that governments should focus on increasing population welfare while managing population size because i believe 8 billion humans is already unnecessary considering the prediction of wars over finite resources like freshwater and oil.
