Regenerative Grazing
Several articles dealing with so-called regenerative grazing... most credible studies show this phrase to be an oxymoron. These studies show how even small scale farms with grass fed cows cause more pollution than plant foods. These studies/articles are concerned with the fallacy that the use of animals in the likes of "regenerative grazing" or "grass fed" methods are a solution to the problem of climate destruction and feeding the world. There isn't enough land - we'd need seven planets to feed the world in such an un-resourceful way and, of course, the animals end up being killed.
