    To be fair. There is much debate around whether livestock is indirectly carbon neutral with very valid studies on both sides

      Please link any study on livestock being CO2-neutral. I’m very skeptical, but would love to read your source first.

        The key is to farm or graze using regenerative methods. Current factory farming methods are detrimental to the soil and the rest of the environemnt in many ways. Bear in mind, however, that the largest contributor to greenhouse gasses is the healthcare sector, and that’s going to be a tough nut to crack.

          I looked on google scholar to see any of their papers. Most of what I could find doesn’t seem to be exactly peer-reviewed articles nor are most really cited by any other papers. At that they are making rather bold claims with rather weak evidence
