I’m not sure about the last stat but the 20%/80% of land use comes from a few different places best visualized by ourworldindata

There is also a highly unequal distribution of land use between livestock and crops for human consumption. If we combine pastures used for grazing with land used to grow crops for animal feed, livestock accounts for 77% of global farming land. While livestock takes up most of the world’s agricultural land it only produces 18% of the world’s calories and 37% of total protein.3

The pastureland being used in the assessment muddies the stats a bit.
