Is It Sustainable To Eat Meat?

Limestone Grassland

The question ‘is it sustainable to eat meat?’ is one I address on a daily basis. I have talked and written about this extensively and pulled some top resources together for you to use below.

Here is a webinar that we did covering the topic.

 

Many of those who have watched the film ‘cowspiracy’ or other such ‘moc-documentaries’ may have had their belief system shaken. Please know that these are not truth-based films they’re vegan propaganda before you make your final judgement. I have covered the main problems with Cowspiracy in this ARTICLE
.

Should we switch to a plant-based diet to save the planet and feed the world?

What is the ultimate ‘sustainable food?’

Imagine a wonder crop that has deep roots that tap into hard to reach nutrients underground, it’s drought resistant – when it rains the root system helps the water stay in the soil instead of running off. This crop can resist the highest winds or the wettest spells, it grows well all year round and on any type of soil. This crop could provide food security even in the most erratic rainfall caused by climate change.

Our wonder crop takes carbon and methane from the atmosphere and locks it out of harms way, it builds its own fertility so needs no artificial fertilisers – one of the most carbon-heavy and energy intensive inputs in modern agriculture. This crop requires minimal management; no machines, no pesticides, no irrigation, it does not need to be planted every year, and it can grow anywhere – even on mountainsides, arid plains, or wetlands – the places where no other food can grow.

Sounds great, but there is one HUGE problem. We can’t eat it! It’s called GRASS.

But as evolving humans we got around this issue – we ate the animals that ate the grass (along with seasonally available plants).

Ruminants such – like buffalo, elk, cows, and sheep – have clever digestive systems that can turn this wonder crop into meat and milk. The meat doesn’t need storage, can be moved from field to field, it doesn’t often spoil or rot, and we can harvest when we need it – regardless of the weather or time of year. As a happy ‘by-product’ it also tastes AMAZING and you can get nearly all the nutrients you need to thrive from the different parts of an animal.
