if the land is unsuitable for crop production, you can often still raise cattle on it.
You still need to grow food to feed the cattle, if only for winter stock, so you have to find a fertile field to grow food stock, so that field could be used for growing crops and the field that's unsuitable for anything else could just be, well not used. There's absolutely no scenario where cattle are going to be more sustainable than crops.
you can feed cattle silage and crop seconds from food grown for people. you don't need to plant crops just to feed cattle.
why, though? making food is a good use of land.
Yay, deforestation is such a cool thing
that's not what I said: it's a straw man
