No, reduced demand will wreck the prices for the producers, who will reduce supply and thereby reduce the overall volume of production, which will reduce the volume of pollution, water usage, etc. Beef production in the U.S. has been relatively stable since 2000, despite the population growth and increased consumer spending on food. The market responds to input costs and demand, and things like drought conditions drop production significantly.
