I'm not educated on the statistics, but how much of the total meat consumed (let's say beef in the US) comes from the big bad farms? Is it possible to convert over to only healthier grass pastures?
I'm a meat eater who is happy to pay more and cut down, just wondering how feasible it is.
- tfolbrecht 9y agoFeasibility for the individual is a matter of being able to afford meat that is currently 50 - 100% more expensive per comparable cuts. Feasibility for society is complex. Where I live, grass fed cattle is mostly grown on short term leased land. Sellers and long term speculators of farmable land make cash on its interim usage for cattle. Non-feasible. In Australia and NZ, there are huge chunks of the country suitable for raising livestock, not suitable for land development or plant farming. There's more livestock than people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50MbPACZF-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50MbPACZF-4 Australian outback cattle farmers mustering with helicopters
