    The title is a bit much.

    This type of livestock farming and soil restoration has to be done in a specific way, and it's pretty far outside of the norm from how nearly everyone gets their meat currently. Peoples take away shouldn't be "hmm sounds good gonna have a burger tonight", unless your buying from Joel Salatin or something.

    It won't save the world, but maybe we can make eating beef and other animals carbon-neutral, reducing its own footprint. It would be a start, but there's still a lot more that would need to be done to tackle climate change. There's also the need to consider water input, and then the fact that the livestock is taking up space that could be used to grow more calorically dense foods, that can also be carbon neutral, to feed people.

    Overall I'd say reducing meat consumption is still clearly the best choice for the environment, but that doesn't mean making the reduced meat we do consume carbon-neutral still wouldn't be fantastic.

    Nice. Along those lines, thought these were interesting, but of course they're from a certain perspective:
