Milkman, if I missed your question previously, apologies. I’ve got some interesting resources on this on my work laptop, but I’m on holiday right now, so no dice. Suffice to say, there’s no single answer to this and solutions will vary, particularly by region. I know that the UK Vegan Society has a group of folks that help farmers transition from animal ag to something else, usually veganic farming. That being said, solutions in the UK might not be applicable in the Karoo. As to the Karoo scenario, I don’t have a workeable solution, it’s outside my wheelhouse. If plant farming isn’t feasible, then low impact eco tourism comes to mind. Ultimately, there will be people who will have to find a new way to utilise their land as the world continues down this path. This kind of transition happened to the breeders of draft horses, manufacturers of typewriters, etc. Any good businessman/woman needs to understand what the risks are and farmers will need to be ready for what the market will look like in a decade or two.
