Vegetarianism vs World Hunger

In this modernized world, agriculture practice is becoming the centre of attraction for keeping ecology balanced and hence 40 billion hac. land area is dedicated to agriculture and out of which 70% land is used to rear animals. Instead of this if every individual adapts vegetarian then also the land mass required 0.6-1.2 billion hac. though the population increases by 30%.
Unfortunately there are many road blocks for ending world hunger. Some major problems are food wastage at any modern place due to less availability, increase in cost of produce etc. and these problems play a very important role to stop world hunger. Vegetarianism is itself a very big problem for the people because of the way they see the world.
Simply, more population eat meat, the fewer people can be fed. For eg. over 10 pounds of plant protein are used to produce one pound of beef protein. If these grains were fed to humans instead of animals, more food would be available for the millions of people in chronic hunger worldwide.
FACT :- Research from Cornell University of U.S, found that the grain used to feed livestock in U.S.  alone could feed 800 million people.
