That's just a tiny sliver of the picture, though. Rice is also water hungry and co2 intensive as well. It's more productive than either corn or wheat - has fewer uses, and a narrow land capacity profile.
Rice milk would have worse numbers than rice - processing. As a product, it's likely to have shit numbers with respect to cows milk in a full comparison because a dairy doesn't have the same numbers as a feedlot to begin with and ultimately makes many more products than just the milk, the environmental cost distributed across them.
Are you saying chickens also emit a lot of methane? That's new to me.
Anyway, where are you getting your information from?
