Cattle are efficient and valuable upcyclers. While they utilize land, water, a little bit of fuel, and of course grains, the end result is well worth it.
Neutral is the first certified carbon-neutral food processor in the U.S., and its milk is coming from farms that are net negative on carbon emissions.
Reducing methane production in ruminants has many positive effects, and has the potential to make big changes in animal agriculture.
For some of the major societal ills, such as land use or carbon emissions, people seem eager to blame farmers and pressure agriculture to change.
Research out of Colorado State University suggests that better land management practices globally can help the livestock industry reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But while the science pointed to almost a complete reduction in GHG through rotational grazing in many cattle systems, the efficiency strategies they examined were not as successful in the U.S. studies. Why? […]
Because the ag industry can reduce its emissions at a lower cost than larger companies, is has an ability to take financial advantage of carbon markets.
New analysis of EPA data highlights agricultural emissions reductions and the importance of developing new research to capture more carbon in cropland.
Despite the fact that agriculture and forestry are a net carbon sink, we should use practices that reduce emissions and sink carbon back into the Earth.
