The math on regenerative grazing being a big carbon solution doesn't add up. Simply put, grass fed beef emits more CO2 and CH4, and soils carbon storage (which is more limited than some advocates claim) can't make up for it. drawdown.org/insights/reg...
Animal agriculture has a climate problem.
Damn. There was a lot of hype there. I appreciate the reality check.
Just rewild the land and let nature do what it does best.
With holistic grazing management the same plot of land could be grazed with cattle, sheep and goats at the same time as they have different nutritional preferences. This would reduce the area need to raise them whilst improving biodiversity.
But it’s still a good tool to keep in our toolbox for soil erosion, water quality, etc. Better yet? Cutting back on beef and restoring overgrazed lands to nature.
Regenerative grazing is a mitigation measure, not a solution. Like it was said above, it should absolutely be used as part of a total restructuring of agricultural practices. A. Part. Of.
You're equating the 2 wrong things. You need to compare emissions with the sequestration of CO2 from the atmosphere by the plants involved in the whole biogenic cycle. Soil carbon arising from root exudation by those plants is a very small fraction of that. Of course it doesn't 'add up'.
