400 square feet is 20x20, which is much much smaller than the lawn we can see here. I understand her point but you could use this space far more efficiently. I'd like to see some actual math here since we know the overall size (1 acre), with calories per sqft and all that

1 acre = 43,560 sq ft

If we assume the lawn is like 2/3rds of this plot then that's 14,520 sq ft of cropland, which is better than the estimate, but also a singular cow requires 1.5 to 2 Acres of Grazing Land. To have the cows, pretty much all of the crops would go directly to them.

This is why I'm an advocate for edible bugs for your chickens and you if things get bad enough

Yeah chickens in general are a way better solution. Better for the climate, too.
