Cows, Climate and Culture Wars: Putting Bad Policy Out to Pasture

Thereâ€™s growing concern among scientists and the public about the environmental cost of the United Statesâ€™ outsized appetite for beef. But thereâ€™s

Thereâ€™s growing concern among scientists and the public about the environmental cost of the United Statesâ€™ outsized appetite for beef. But thereâ€™s also a fierce political backlash against the suggestion that we reduce our beef consumption. These dynamics have everyone â€” from federal policymakers to local producers and big corporations â€” scrambling to broadcast new climate commitments on beef production, such as net-zero pledges.

In this conversation, food and climate experts will break down the climate science of beef and explore which solutions are most effective â€” and most needed â€” in climate policy and commitments. Whatâ€™s the role for grass-fed and so-called regenerative beef in a climate-friendly food system? Where are the gaps in our ability to reduce climate emissions, and what are the limits and potentials of carbon sequestration, methane capture, carbon markets, consumer awareness and industry oversight? Weâ€™ll also discuss how culture wars shape the way we talk about, think about, study, and address climate impacts in beef production â€” and whether voluntary benchmarks can work under these conditions.
