Exploring Sustainable Meat Production, Soil Health, and Carbon Sequestration

Did you know that cattle are not the “climate change killers” they’ve been made out to be? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Marianne Landzettel, journalist and author of Sustainable Meat Production and Processing: Local, Profitable and Humane. Landzettel describes differences in agriculture in the EU, UK and US, and presents evidence supporting the benefits of livestock, and in particular cattle, raised in a regenerative fashion, to help mitigate climate change, and protect soil health. Landzettel explains the climate impacts of feedlot cattle fed grain vs. those responsibly grazed on grasslands.  She discusses the benefits of the “livestock” below ground, organic-rich soil, and humane slaughter.
