It would seem that reducing the number and size of the ranches would be an effective way of addressing the problem. And that the most effective way to do that is to cut meat and dairy consumption.

This primer explores the causes of methane emissions and how the world can limit the release of this potent greenhouse gas.

This part is surprising. We have displaced much of the planets wildlife with our appetite for cheeseburgers with dire consequences for biodiversity and climate.
There are specially formulated vegan foods for the most common of captive obligate carnivores (felis silvestris catus). Since that is possible, it seems strange that we cannot discover a way to do the same for the tiny percentage of humans that are thought to require meat for health reasons.
