I suggest you look into the data behind soy production and usage: most of the soy that is produced in the world is fed to animals which people then eat (which is highly wasteful compared to directly eating the soy) and so if you care about the environment, eating soy products is much, much better than eating animal-based products.
I never had anything to do with farming but I can imagine its appeal. Living from the fat of the land and not caring about planning and preplanning and retrospectives and all that.
