"70% of global freshwater withdrawals are used for agriculture;
78% of global ocean and freshwater eutrophication is caused by agriculture (eutrophication is the pollution of waterways with nutrient-rich water);
94% of non-human mammal biomass is livestock, so there are only 1.3 wild mammals per 15 livestock animals; and,
71% of bird biomass is poultry livestock, so poultry livestock outweigh wild birds by a factor of more than 3-to-1."
