Substituting half of animal products could “almost fully halt” the conversion of forests and natural land for agriculture.

      I think it is higher, the current food production is something like 25% of the global GHG emissions, 2/3 are from the animal industry. Besides the direct impact there is less land use and the opportunity to re-nature large areas.
