Regenerative agriculture

The purveyors of “grass-fed” beef want you to believe that it solves meat’s environmental problem. But this is merely a branding exercise, not a climate solution.

A U.S. anthropologist who works in Guatemala argues that opening the Mexico-U.S. border must become a political priority in the fight against climate catastrophe—in part because people in the U.S. have much to learn from those who hold different values, perspectives, and knowledge.

In November 2019, the Slovenian parliament passed a motion to adopt an EIT Climate-KIC-led proposal called "A Deep Demonstration of a Circular, Regenerative and Low-Carbon Economy in Slovenia." The initiative is one of eight Deep Demonstrations launched by EIT Climate-KIC, which together offer a test bed environment for the ambitious, "1.5-consistent systems transitions" called for by IPCC reports, activists, national and European policy.

Rather than just pollute less or do less harm, with regenerative agriculture we can actually have a positive impact on the planet through the production of clothes.

A plant-based food system would be a win for animals and the environment. How workers would fare is less clear.

Dairy proteins used to come exclusively from cows. Today, people can program microbes or plants to produce them without our farmyard friends, or even deploy bovine mammary cells that ‘lactate’ outside of an animal. But which approach is the most scalable, and sustainable?

RethinkX just released a new report that claims that humans can cut carbon emissions 90 percent by 2030 by ending unsustainable animal agriculture practices.
