It's not cow but how. Modern agriculture methods are very destructive for the environment. The biggest problem isn't even the greenhouse emissions but the way we are destroying the living topsoil by our methods and then trying to

I'm starting a regenerative agriculture focused farm. I don't believe a technology can save us but fundamental shifts on how we produce our food. I'm not going to change the world myself but I want to be part of that revoluti

I bought one when the price of gasoline was 2.5e per litre. Same time I was moving to a house with solar panels. I don't think EVs are much more healtier to the planet, I made my decision only for economic reasons.

Joel Salatin and Richard Perkins (among many many others) have done great work by applying permaculture principles to farm scale. The ”movement” is called regenerative agriculture but you can also find lots of bullshit under that term (ie.
