You speak as if a goat is a goat, a cow is a cow, a pig is a pig, a calorie is a calorie, and a protein is a protein. No. The world is much more nuanced than that. Ruminants are thee biggest factor is driving soil-building as part of regenerative agriculture. Goats are by far (in my experience) the quickest way to rebuild parched top soil, or just build soil in a place that badly needs it (say run-through dirt that won't even grow lentils).
- knuthsat 5y agoWell, I did not say that ruminants aren't a part of regenerative agriculture. There's just not that many to support the current meat consumption levels. If you're going to grow ruminants just on grass, it takes a lot of time and land to eventually sell the meat compared to what's happening now. We could argue that a reduction from 100+ kg to 4-30kg of meat per capita per year could be supported this way but I have no idea.
