363 - The Truth About Livestock and Greenhouse Gas Emissions with Frank Mitloehner

Are livestock producers unfairly targeted by climate activists for their environmental impact? Do consumers face unjust guilt trips over their meat, milk, and egg choices? In this episode of The Business of Agriculture, we dive into the debate surrounding livestock and greenhouse gas emissions.

Join host Damian Mason and UC-Davis animal scientist Frank Mitloehner as they separate fact from fiction. Discover why the claim that "cow farts" are a major climate issue might be more propaganda than reality. Frank Mitloehner reveals the true impact of livestock on greenhouse gas emissions, highlighting that livestock are responsible for only 11% of global emissions and just 4% in the U.S.

Will political actions against livestock production, similar to those seen in Europe, become a trend? Frank's insights suggest otherwise. Plus, learn why livestock will continue to play a crucial role in human nutrition, with 98% of U.S. refrigerators stocked with animal-based products.

Tune in for a factual and engaging discussion on the real numbers and future of livestock production.
