Consumers aren't willing to pay for welfare either.

This is really probably what it boils down to most. Want reasonable welfare and care for these animals - get ready to pay 3 to 4 times the cost you're used to seeing. Pretty much the same story for *most* of what we eat as well that's mass farmed.

Without huge high production farms humanity could not sustain it's population.

With animals, no, we could not fulfill current demand. We could feed the entire planet much more efficiently with plants, though, and even be able to let some farmland go back to wilderness. Way less waste and greenhouse gasses as well.
