Given your graph posted above in this page, that shows that the USA is one of very few nations that eats as much meat per capita as it is, I find the title of this graph misleading. If it's "Animal-based vs. Plant-based", compare "Animal-based vs. Plant-based", not the most extreme version of animal-based (the standard American diet). 

Also, after visiting the site (https://plantricianproject.org/food-math-101), I have more comments.
-The only source for anything to do with land-use yields are two books - one called "Diet for a Small Planet" written in 1971 by Moore, one called "Diet for a New America" written in 1987 by Robbins.
-"Diet for a Small Planet" is falsely claimed to be written in 1982 - it was in fact written in 1971, which is important because...
-The sourcing explains, "[Moore's] numbers were 3.25 acres which equals 2.5 football fields; so we used a more conservative two football fields assuming that some agricultural efficiencies have been gained since 1982." While I don't know about the agricultural efficiency changes between those two dates, Our World in Data tells a story of massive efficiency boosts - https://ourworldindata.org/yields-and-land-use-in-agriculture

Finally, how many people does this mean we need to convince to move to a plant-based diet? And how are the efficiencies if we can't get everyone on board? What about the cost to repurpose the land for new crops, who bears those? And why should chicken coops decide to close down and pivot to kale? In terms of the abundance of livestock we have today, should we slaughter them all and have a big barbecue, to at least prevent the ongoing expulsion of methane (would vegans participate in that? It's ethically motivated), or will the new vegans adopt pet cows? How will we mitigate protein deficiencies and dietary training when we can't get that right even when we can chemically alter food so it tastes good - how are you going to sell a fat kid on arugula and tofu when he's used to KFC that his parents fed him regularly? And how much time have we got again? 

Obviously I've got a mix of real and rhetorical questions on here, but I think my sentiments of 'not keeping my fingers crossed for a future based on current evidence' are quite clear.

Are we talking American football field, Canadian, indoor, or soccer? All are very different. 

if only the NFL knew the difference, there wouldn't have been that debacle in my city last week.
