I agree with this. In my country our primary industries are beef & dairy. Individual change may be happening slowly. But it does feel quite depressing seeing the expansion happening constantly all around you. And the amount of pushback government gets when they try to impose any sort of limitations or change on people's livelihoods is quite upsetting.

This division around the topic drives me nuts. And this is coming from a country where there's barely any native forest left in the first place.
