Meat emits around a third of global emissions of methane, and action to cut this greenhouse gas has been identified by the UN and world leaders as the quickest route to slowing global heating. All these methods work to improve the soil, reduce air and water pollution, cut emissions, and boost biodiversity.

As they walled off rivers and created dry islands from what was previously soggy marsh, they discovered incredibly rich soil. No one foresaw that this very bounty — soil rich with organic material — would, over time, become a curse of sorts. DWR measures the CO2 and methane emissions from the wetlands it created on Sherman Island.

Nearly a quarter of that is beef, with environmental impacts ranging from methane emissions (aka cow burps) to land-use changes to water stresses. There’s data that shows when you manage animals in that way, it has a much more dramatic impact on the soils. It’s a labor and capital resource constraint thing.

Tyson told the Progressive Grocer it is “trying to be upbeat and different”, with something that speaks definitively to younger Millennial and Gen Z consumers. Methane, a greenhouse gas which is belched out in high volumes by cattle, has been identified by the UN and world leaders as the quickest route to cut global heating.

According to a growing body of scientific research, incorporating trees into farmland benefits everything from soil health to crop production to the climate. Livestock raised in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), produce more methane than cows that graze on grass. There is no clear definition.

Aclima (Series B | $67M | $160M): hyperlocal air quality and greenhouse gas measurement to reduce emissions and protect public health. While these distinctions are helpful, they’re definitely not exhaustive or absolute. Developed a remote Carbon Index to quantify soil organic carbon as a tool to help verify soil-based carbon offsets.

Soil degradation. Lab-grown meat dramatically cuts back on carbon emissions , methane emissions, water consumption and land use. Maybe however the best argument is not climate-change, animal suffering, health or low costs. The beauty of this type of agriculture, is that it does not require soil. Deforestation. Absolutely.
