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.
In this episode, we discuss:
-The environmental effects of regenerative grazing
-Why we should consider cattle a "keystone species"
-How regenerative grazing could increase farmable land and eliminate food insecurity
-The truth about how much water is necessary to raise cattle
-Why monocropping corn and soy is bad for the environment
-Ways cattle grazing restores native wildlife and vegetation
-Where carbon dioxide and methane emissions from cattle end up
-The ethical cost of consuming beef
-How to make regenerative grazing possible all year
-The real cost of healthy, nutrient-dense foods
