The amount of methane released because of cows would be reduced if they had better diets. This is because good diets make them produce less methane.
The author assumes that giving cows healthier diets doesn’t have an undesirable consequence, such as causing them to produce less meat or milk. This may make it necessary to have more cows to compensate for decreased production per cow, thus potentially increasing methane production.
