Drawing on the collective knowledge of renegade ranchers, rebel scientists, and cutting edge product manufactures, this provocative panel is focused on a counter intuitive approach to solving the issues of climate change, desertification, biodiversity loss, and degradation of land. Grounded in empirical scientific data with living examples from around the world, this panel creates a comprehensive argument that cattle and other ruminant animals can help build carbon-sequestering soils, prevent desertification, and increase biodiversity. While no single approach to solving our greatest environmental threats exist, this panel makes a convincing case that livestock MUST be a part of the holistic solution.
