About The Episode
In this episode, we delve into the unique characteristics of grass and its potential to address global challenges. Grass’s growth pattern, with new growth replacing old parts, allows sunlight to reach the fresh growth. Grasslands are crucial for carbon sequestration as they store carbon in the soil. Effective management of grazing animals, particularly through holistic grazing, can restore and preserve healthy grasslands while aiding climate change mitigation.
The episode highlights the importance of adopting efficient and sustainable practices in local beef production to ensure long-term profitability and environmental sustainability.
