Is there any research available that compensates the emission for all the emission saved? For example cows also produce leather and bones right? Not trying to defend meat production but just curious.

Geography is the study of places and the relationships between people and their environments. Geographers explore both the physical properties of Earth’s surface and the human societies spread across it. They also examine how human culture interacts with the natural environment and the way that locations and places can have an impact on people. Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

It's a good and valid question! :) I'm not sure, but I think one of the takeaways of stuff like this is supposed to be that we should try to do something different in multiple sectors because structurally everything isn't optimised for the well being of the planet. It's optimized simply for profit. We need to go from zero sum game thinking to long term systems thinking. There's different ways we could do a lot of things but good food choices are one way we could see immediate impacts for immediate problems. I eat meat btw, I just try to stay away from red meat because I'm not a massive fan.
