The Problem With Grass-Fed Beef

In this Our Changing Climate environmental video essay, I look at the problem with grass-fed beef. Grass-fed beef, holistic grazing, and regenerative grazing have recently been championed as solutions to climate change and the climate crisis. The truth about grass-fed beef is that it can't sequester as much carbon as grass-fed, regenerative beef grazing advocates like Allan Savory say it can. Counter to the promises of grass-fed beef and regenerative beef advocates like Allan Savory, most grass-fed beef grazing operations cause more emissions than they capture. Ultimately, grass-fed beef and regenerative beef grazing systems are an unsustainable practice. The real solution is to embrace some form of a plant-based diet. Whether that means going vegan, vegetarian, or forgoing red meat to start, plant-based diets like eating vegan create far fewer emissions than eating grass-fed beef.
