It's also worth pointing out that herding/grazing animals play an important role in the ecosystem and soil restoration. They can and should be incorporated in solarpunk whether or not they are consumed. Our best indicator of when humans arrived at a location is when the local megafauna died off.
It's also kinda surprising to me that people are assuming that this would be for mean animals specifically. I didn't watch the video but it seems to me there is not reason this couldnt be for non-animal-harming animal agriculture, things like dairy cows, sheep, llamas, goats, etc. Even horses for riding or smthn. As I understand it solarpunk is cool with that, especially of it's living with the animals for mutual benefit.
