So oat milk is better for the environment?

Two holes in that last assumption. We currently produce sufficient food to feed ~40 million people, so 8 times our own requirements, so reducing the production of a few farms isn't going to impact our ability to survive, and those 'lost farms' aren't going anywhere, they will just change their land usage.

Dont count on it staying that way for long, I know a few farmers who already walked away long before all this crap was announced.
We will see more farms turned into pine forest, mark my words.

Not endorsing it but, IF it is more profitable to farm pine trees than food, or convert farmland to housing, instead of growing our own produce, I am wondering how that is any different to relying on imports of products in any other sector, say oil..  It is just market economics in a global economy and letting specific countries do what they do best...

It's not like we get the food any cheaper just because we grow it here
