Several of these arguments reference the idea that grazing livestock can help maintain healthy soils which can store carbon. It’s a term favoured by many food companies, despite the fact that scientists have said that soils are not a reliable way to store carbon in the long term, and that removals can be easily undone.

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. Even older forests continue to accumulate carbon in the soils.
