Cows are bad for the planet, right? We've got to gene edit them so they don't fart out so much methane, right? Or we've got to switch to a highly processed food product like fake meat, right? Or we've got to get rid of cows all together and grow meat in a lab, right?
Not so fast.
I just finished watching the recently completed 4-part docu-series by filmmaker Peter Byck
@peterbyck called Roots So Deep (You can See the Devil Down There.)
@rootssodeep. If you'd like to open your mind to the science of cows and climate, you could start with the clip I've shared from CNN's Bill Weir.
This terrific series follows a multi-year research project comparing adaptive grazing (AMP) to conventional grazing. It follows farmers as they use simple hacks to mimic how ruminants moved across our grasslands for millennia, turning cow farming operations into carbon sinks that can be a critical part of the climate solution.
These farms not only produce nutrient dense organic grass-fed meat for humans, they build soil that sequesters carbon, they produce more food per acre, make more money, capture more water in the soil, and bring back the biodiversity of bugs and birds. The only people who should be opposed to this are the companies who sell fertilizer these farms no longer need because the cows do the work, and the CAPOs that should lose business when AMP takes hold.
If you care about the planet, carbon, farmers, food, birds, bugs and soil health, it's well worth a watch:
