There definitely needs to be better farming regulation to make it more sustainable, but that’s really more of a California thing. Most countries are growing for sustenance, or have a rare viable climate for a crop like cocoa.
Developing countries need more efficient, more pathogen-resistant farming, which is where we need new technology like GMOs and eventually vertical farming.
As much as I hate recommending technical solutions to environmental problems, raising livestock for dairy, eggs, and meat has been a worldwide tradition for millennia, and I don’t think it’s practical to try to convince the entire world to go vegan. Lab grown meat solves this problem entirely, and once it’s viable, we can ban all animal-based products in supermarkets.
