Regenerative Grazing for Soil and Climate Health

from Primal Diet - Modern Health · host Beverly Meyer, Judith Schwartz

What is Regenerative Grazing? How does soil affect climate, and how do cows and other ruminants have such an important role to play? In this Primal Diet - Modern Health podcast I speak with Judith Schwartz, author of one of my favorite books, to expand on these topics. "Cows Save the Planet" subtitles include: "Unmaking the deserts, rethinking climate change, bringing back biodiversity, and restoring nutrients to our food". Whew! That's a lot but Judith makes it readable and clear. Highly recommended for science students and the rest of us who think eating less meat helps the environment. But factory fed meats and feedlots are indeed part of the problem. The wastes of corn and soy fed cattle are collected in huge lagoons, an anaerobic breeding place for methane gases. Grass fed ruminants (cattle, bison, sheep, deer, giraffe, camels, antelopes) chew their cud. They have split hooves which, when on pasture, mix waste, rain and saliva into the soil, fertilize it and aerate it.
