60% of the world’s agricultural land is not suitable for growing crops and is only able to be grazed by livestock.
The environmental impact of raising animals for food is frequently overstated and mischaracterized.
Ruminants can graze on marginal land that can't support crops, turning grass human can’t eat into meat.
The GHG emissions of livestock is overstated because it represents a full life cycle analysis of beef production, while transportation is calculated based on direct tailpipe emissions.
While beef consumption has decreased in the U.S., diet related diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes continue to skyrocket.
94% of the water footprint attributed to beef is “green water”, or naturally occurring rainfall, that would have fallen whether or not that animal was on the land.
Animals play a critical role in sustainable food systems and regenerative farming methods can contribute to healthier ecosystems, carbon sequestration, and much more.
