Regenerative agriculture is our solution
Regenerative agriculture is the science, art, or occupation concerned with providing ample, nutritious food; improving local economies equitably; building soil fertility; restoring biodiversity, water cycling, and water quality; and using natural processes to achieve climate stability by restoring carbon and other nutrients to the soil.

A recent Duke University study confirmed that 100% grassfed beef delivers more nutrition than conventional beef. Anyone who’s tasted some shouldn’t be surprised.

#beef #regenerative #agriculture #ranching
There’s an ongoing debate surrounding #carbon, the #environment, and #livestock, a trifecta of complexity often misunderstood by many. Farmers and ranchers tend to acres of ever-changing pasture and #grasslands, adopting a scientific mindset to optimize forage nutrition for their herds. Though they might lack formal scientific training, many recognize that research underscores the distinctive carbon cycles associated with #grazing #livestock.
In a significant peer-reviewed study, researchers from Michigan State University and other leading institutions revealed that grass-fed cattle can yield a carbon footprint 66% smaller than those raised on corn and soybeans. This reduction is attributed to the carbon storage potential of well-managed grasslands, which not only benefit soil health but also support the foundation of our entire food system. Opting for 100% grass-fed beef emerges as a flavorful and conscientious choice that contributes positively to the planet we rely on, symbolized by the #realburgerofearthday movement. #grassfed #beef
