There are *very* few landscapes not suitable to plant foods.
Wheat is not the only plant.
There are a lot of fruit and nut trees.
Barley grows in extreme climate.

Here nearby on the island of fuerteventura - a lot of goats live-
thats are suitable only to goats - too dry.

These goats are milked they produce extremely good goat cheese.
Milking yields 25 to 75 percent of the food eaten by the animal.

I have never see
n goat meat offered
Very little meat grows on a very large area.
