Ep. 14 - Farting Up a Storm in the Cattle Industry

In the first episode of the "Farting Up a Storm" series, Jay & Ashlee seek to push back on four untruths that livestock industry opponents claim to be true. We use peer-reviewed research, meta-analyses and pure common sense to help the listener become more informed about the livestock industry, ecology, soil and more.

The 4 Untruths of Livestock Production Systems:

1. Livestock will never be carbon neutral because they emit greenhouse gases
2. Livestock production on pasture cannot sequester carbon.
3. A large portion of arable crops grown are consumed by livestock
4. If we switch to a plant-based diet, we can take huge amounts of land out of production

PSA: If any words, acronyms, definitions and/or descriptions escape your understanding, we ask you to pause the podcast and look up what they are. The path towards wisdom is slow and deliberate.
