WE CAN'T SOLVE THE CLIMATE CRISIS WITHOUT COWS
'We’ve all heard – haven’t we – that cow burps are driving global climate change…?
'Right? So… The truth is more complicated.
'Yes, methane from ruminants is important – but it’s not a primary cause of global warming.
'Cows in a regenerative farm system help the soil to sequester carbon, they restore ecological connectivity… helping us to solve the climate crisis – while also producing fantastic nutrient dense food, supporting livelihoods, and feeding communities all around the world.'
