It's specifically very wrong. It links to this study for that claim:

https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/aa6cd5

Which only looks at greenhouse gas emissions (and only then compares grass feeding to grain feeding), and does NOT consider the effects to local groundwater, surface water, or air quality from CAFOs.

Here's a CDC resource that goes into depth about the swathe of negative effects on local resources CAFOs create: https://www.cdc.gov/nceh/ehs/docs/understanding_cafos_nalboh...

Besides things like frequent manure spills that pollute surface and groundwater, children living near these CAFOs have elevated rates of asthma.

The piece is very focused on greenhouse gases and the benefits of "economies of scale" but doesn't say a peep about the meltdown of our consolidated food supply when the pandemic subjected it to supply shocks.

How did the pandemic melt down our consolidated food supply?

AFAIK only food delivery to restaurants was slightly affected
