You misunderstand we can’t transition AT ALL from industrialized food without killing most people and destroying civilization because it depends on 98% of people able to do something other than food. We can’t grow enough food for everyone and we can’t use 50-80% of our labor producing food anymore.
We could dramatically decrease usage of meat or eliminate it, ship things less so we eat mostly what is available nearby most of the time, waste less, and make methods healthier and greener. We cannot do what you want.
