Ridge Shinn, CEO of Big Picture Beef, and writer/environmental advocate Lynne Pledger join Chris on Revolution Health Radio to discuss their new book, Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World. On a mission to pave the way for more nutritious, sustainable, local meat, they propose replacing corn-based feedlots with regenerative grazing—an alternative method that offers a solution to climate emissions, nitrogen pollution, and animal suffering. They review the science supporting regenerative farming and its ability to restore barren land and regrow native plant species, and they debunk popular critiques against raising cattle for food, including methane and carbon dioxide emissions.

No matter where you personally stand on dairy products, there’s no denying that it’s a contentious issue in the nutrition community.
