Becoming a cowgirl...
Good comes from grazing Cows: they improve soil health – which helps mitigate climate change while promoting plant growth and resilience. The result: healthier foods and better farm income.
The Sustainable Meat Challenge:
“Landzettel pulls back the curtain on dominant yet destructive agricultural narratives. She introduces us to trailblazers who have found a sustainable path forward, away from harmful factory farming and demeaning industrial processing. She helps us understand how livestock, and importantly, cattle, are not the climate demons they’ve been made out to be, but essential in mitigating climate change. Most important, Landzettel provides compelling reason to restore reverence and respect for all life on earth, above and below ground.“
