When you eat more meat, ranchers will produce even more of it just like they are doing it right now. When you stop eating meat every day and reduce it, ranchers sell less meat and will reduce the amount of livestock they have.
This will also reduce the amount of corn that is planted for livestock and more grassland can be planted or even trees.
