For instance, the US would require a 75% reduction in beef consumption just for it to have enough grassland for it.

Aren't you looking from the wrong end here? Ban anything but grass-feeding, put high import taxes on beef (the latter should be easy to sell: protect domestic farmers!), and consumption will go down automatically, because the supply drops by 75%.
