The experiment was set up by the University of Oxford’s Professor Andy Hector and colleagues over twenty years ago as part of the SE Asia Rainforest Research Partnership (SEARRP). This includes both the physical and environmental conditions that the species is adapted to, and how it interacts with other organisms.

Producers claim their animal feed comes from responsible sources and their livestock use land unsuitable for other uses, all the while supporting biodiversity and capturing carbon from the atmosphere through holistic or other types of “regenerative” grazing. For example, while Brazilian meat giant JBS reported emissions of 7.14

A small metal platform at the top, 48 metres above the floor of a peatland rainforest reserve, provides a unique, 360-degree vantage point to witness one of the most biodiverse, carbon-rich habitats left on Earth. In fact, peatland contains up to 50 per cent carbon content, compared to the two per cent typically found in mineral soil.

We need to protect and improve the carbon sequestration by agricultural soils and grazing lands. Even what we think of as mature forests are still accumulating carbon because carbon makes up about roughly half of the dry weight of wood, but it is also in the soils.

He added: “Reducing emissions from livestock requires involving farmers, ranchers, and companies and organizations across animal agriculture. Several of these arguments reference the idea that grazing livestock can help maintain healthy soils which can store carbon. Scoones explains that this can lead to unhelpful discussions.
