It doesn't mention a lot of things. Most things are left to interpretation.

It does start off with a whole bunch of "reasons" for it, a good chunk of which have nothing to do with what it purports to be about.

Whereas climate change, pollution, and environmental de-
struction have exacerbated systemic racial, regional, so-
cial, environmental, and economic injustices (referred to
in this preamble as ‘‘systemic injustices’’) by dispropor-
tionately affecting indigenous peoples, communities of
color, migrant communities, deindustrialized commu-
nities, depopulated rural communities, the poor, low-in-
come workers, women, the elderly, the unhoused, people
with disabilities, and youth (referred to in this preamble
as ‘‘frontline and vulnerable communities’’);

How are these "vulnerable communities" as a group affected more than the whole of population?
There's more there to question, too.

But to the point, after going over some individual things and saying "as much as feasible," you get:

Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that—
(2) the goals described in subparagraphs (A)
through (E) of paragraph (1) (referred to in this
resolution as the ‘‘Green New Deal goals’’) should
be accomplished through a 10-year national mobili-
zation (referred to in this resolution as the ‘‘Green
New Deal mobilization’’) that will require the fol-
lowing goals and projects—
(M) identifying other emission and pollu-
tion sources and creating solutions to remove
them;

It is actually the very lack of cattle being mentioned that leads people to put them in this group of "other emission and pollution sources" that are to be "removed."

Farms ARE mentioned, so that's probably unwarranted, but Ocasio-Cortez is vocal enough that (leaving out any insults) people have found cause to question anything she might say or write.
