[...] The average “factory farm” occupies 16,000 acres of land. On this land it raises an average of 3,800 cattle at a time. That’s 0.2375 acres per animal that the average factory farm can raise. The average grass-fed beef operation – a.k.a., open area with cattle in it – is estimated to require an average of 18.75 acres per cattle. This is based on a representative sample of US grass-fed beef operations that required between 2.5 acres and 35 acres…. [...]

If you don’t know already, you shoud seriously take a look at the permaculture concept (Farm for a future evoques it). IMHO it is the best sustainable choice to produce our food. It is based on energy efficient and pollution-free techniques and principle of design, and heavily based on permanent systems (hence its name).For example, medicinals, nuts, fruits, berries, mushrooms (timber, fuels) can be produced by food forest / edible forest gardens (check the incredible two volumes Edible Forest Gardens by Dave Jack).Vegetables can be produced by growing perennial vegatables, and with mulchng and double-digged no-till beds.Fish can be produced by carefully designed aquaculture systems (chek out work by permaculture co-founder Bill Mollison), and in backyards with Aquaponics systems (aquaculture + hydroponic, that close the amnoniacal cycle).Chicken and Pigs can be produced under forested areas (their ancestors come from forest !). Check out the incredible inspiring book Tree Crops by Russel Smith (inspiration for the permaculture concept, he proposes to fight erosion due to frain cultivation by planting fodder forest for animals, like persimon for winer food of pigs or mulberries for summer food for chickens)Cattle can be grass feded, and acually can benefits to the environment, check the Holistic Management for example that mimicks herds of wild grass eating animals, to restore brittle environnement).You can also check the eyLine concept (not directly concerned with food production, but tu enhance farm soils).I think permaculture is the best method to produce a paleo/primal diet. And i think that as paleo is the best diet for our bodies, permaculture is the best way to produce food sustainably.(again, maybe population is the limit, but i think the first limiting factor should be energy consumption)
