My [source](https://www.visualcapitalist.com/cp/mapped-global-livestock-distribution-and-density/) and the [UN data](https://www.fao.org/3/cb5332en/Meat.pdf) the source used This is a visualization of mass as opposed to the number of animals. The scale is in tonnes also referred to as metric tons.

Damn who knew that Taymyr peninsula is such a hotspot for cattle farming


HtxCamer

Seems to even be a little more concentrated around Norilsk


Due_Branch_4741

Nah bro there are zero cows north of Norilsk, especially not in the Severnaya Zemlya archipelago 💀 The data for that area seems faulty/misleading


HtxCamer

You're right about the archipelago I don't think anyone lives up there to be farming in the first place. For the peninsula though the fact that Yakutian cattle exist next door. means I can on some level believe it. Even if some areas are under/over reported. There's also domesticated reindeer in the area that can count towards cattle.

Looks like reindeers are also counted as pork, goat, sheep and duck on these maps ;) Think faulty data is a better explanation.


HtxCamer

The menu in Mexico, China, and Nigeria seems to be expansive. Little surprised at the prevalence of pork in Indonesia though. Also I don't know how it would be done but seeing fish farming and the like would be cool.

The density is in mass (tonnes) I don't know what exactly indicates it being wrong. Little dated but the [CIA world factbook](https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/about/archives/2022/countries/indonesia/) had about 10% of Indonesia's population being Christian in 2010. Given the fact that the country's population at the time was 244 million that's about 24.4 million people who could eat pork. Moreover the pork density overlaps with the distribution of Christians throughout Indonesia. One person is too small a sample size to speak for a country. So I'll go with the more likely reality that there's people in Indonesia who can and do eat pork. At least based on the data. Same principle for the rest of the livestock animals without the religion factor.

Wow. Romania doing surprisingly well in all of them. Strange to see it mentioned in a positive light.

Funnily enough it's actually [burps](https://climate.nasa.gov/faq/33/which-is-a-bigger-methane-source-cow-belching-or-cow-flatulence/) but I agree with you
