Water isn't a limited resource. The land that most cattle graze on isn't suitable for growing crops.

Water isn't a limited resource.

Maybe not in Ireland, but across much of the world it really is. Drought is a constant threat across Africa, Australia, much of South America, many parts of the USA, the Middle East, some parts of Europe, and central Asia.

Sure, there are trillions of gallons of salt water in the oceans, but you can't drink it, you can't grow crops with it, and desalinating it is not cost effective.
