Vat meat is likely the long term future. IE lab grown but more efficient.
Vegonism will become more common. But is not going to be 100% or even close in time to have an effect. Or likely ever as that effect is its biggest sell atm.
But lab grown meat can manage and use CO2 where as its hard to do so with live animals.
But arible farming is still a huge user of CO2 and really not being pushed to cha ge rapidly. Cost is still seen as more important then green energy use.
I'm actually really looking forward to lab grown meat becoming an established industry. Not just for the benefits to the environment and animal welfare but because you could feasibly grow the finest lobster meat, fois gras, wagyu steaks etc etc on industrial scales which would lead to much lower prices.
You could even get in to really exotic meats like mammoth, platypus and giraffe or whatever else.
VAT on meat you say...
