The majority of the plants humans grow through crop-based agriculture are fed to non-human animals.

It's not that clear, it depends on the country. See the part about share of cereals dedicated to animal feed in this link, it's about 15% in the USA and the rest of the feed is byproducts of crops used for human reasons. https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets
