the better see the what the new government has already said. things will get worse before they improve. inflation is already at 140 percent and rising. some 40 percent of our jan times live at or below the poverty line. we'll have more headlines for you at the top of the next hour. i hope to see you then. thanks for your company. the issue. how many platforms can you handle single tenuously without having the feeling that it's just too much? you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously?

multitasking these, the modern because if we do too much, we paid it all wrong. we messed things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage, humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary the, there's something about the birthday, is it the sizzle, maybe the crackle, just looking at one, almost feel safe. if only forgetting about their impact was as easy as the lights, but producing food and it's nearly a 3rd of all greenhouse gases and all food. these parties are the worst offenders. some cleaning can do things differently. we're going to be talking about rotation, like grazing rotational crazy rotational, raising the rotational are driven and produce b. so it's actually good to be in by even carbon neutral. because these same cows can also improve the soil and helps walk c, o 2 in the grad,

the other state has completely paused either way deep as a massive problem and to slow climate change, we have to fix it. is the only solution to or is there another way to eat peace without people have been domesticating animals for 10000 years. was became dogs wild goats and she pertains an or ox became cattle. today there farmed around the world with the u. s. and brazil, producing the most, it's a $400000000000.00 industry, even if you're like me and eat no meat at all. i'm the guy just harriet b production still affects you because it's responsible for 4300000000 metric tons of c o 2 every year. that's almost as much as the entire united states and fixing this isn't as simple as everyone going. beacon is to realities right? and we need to recognize a couple ronko is a plant scientist and i p. c. c officer from colombia,

focusing on making live stock more sustainable. their 1st one is found very little countries where people may choose what they eat. there are, at least i know that reality and for the open country where people are struggling for nutrients animal protein to make a huge difference. and beating up our beef production can help. but what's the best way of the car? very simply speaking, there are 2 ways of raising cattle. one is grass fed farms like this one in northern germany, run by high colquitt for dental with you. because what i guess what i can discuss is only have to make some vide silver use. easy then to have enough cost that's really fixed. and the answer to before that, i mean is as quits it in the holly. this is a small operation right now. there are 50 animals here. eat in the spring. that's your phone. it isn't a cable station. yadi here is uh, it's fine. i've got dividends the most of the time. do it for me. yeah. on the highest and so called spa, this could be something the fact that i'm lucky to flash the room around

a 160 high chairs and have a warm bar and for the winter raising cattle. look similar to this in many places in the world. and then there are few thoughts that can help thousands or tens of thousands of animals. they live in a confined area and eat mostly grain and sort of grass as to which is better grass bed or feed lot even actually not that simple. let's compare sustainability using these categories. we'll start with what goes in progress, but cattle doesn't travel far because the combination of grass and clover which contains more protein during the summer. so this is all harvested and turned into that for them to eat over the winter. so grass fed beef avoids the emissions and chemical run off from producing grain. it also wins on the water grasp and cattle drink from lakes or ground water. not so for feed lots, the cows drink water and so do the crops come to their feet. there is a downside to grass, the cows update more than then green,

and what goes in also comes out wherever cows are, all these cows are basically constantly burping and farting which generates a lot of messy. essentially, the bigger they are, the more methane they make. methane isn't visible, so best detected by satellite. it's way more potent than c o 2 on a diet of grass, animals go slower, so expel more methane than greenfield caps. surprises when for the feed. lots there . that would also comes out as manure in your, in lots of it, in addition to methane, it releases nitrous oxide and other potent greenhouse gas in the summer. the minority composes in the field and pollution levels are low during winter. the minorities handled similarly to a feed lot, like also technical there. it all comes out here and then it shuttled over there where it's eventually turn into liquid and sprayed on fields. except on a feedlot manure is stored in large pools, releasing more methane than solid storage. and the more that there is,

and the longer it's stored, the more it releases. another big difference is what it contains. on feed lots antibiotics we use to keep animals healthy and stimulate growth. they end up in those with newer pools and can leak into our water supply. antibiotic resistance partially fueled by me, production kills around a 1000000 people every year. one big downside to grafted farms is that they're way less efficient at producing meet these cows. i want to be 2 or 2 and a half, which is a rounding year longer than conventional operations. that means only 10 of them are cited every year. cows grow faster on feed lots, which makes it cheaper. meet you see mostly in by the very rich. so more efficient farming has made it more widely available. but progress good. you have to pay a premium. the cost of this meet is really high at $22.00 euro per kilo. for

comparison, the supermarket need is 10 the difference in price does speak to a difference in quality, don't the that's, that's to you long as i fixed the size, as long as i don't get back to the manufacturing homes, assignment deposit and most good thursday, fine, and i'm tired of that, i'm in the extra my extension's invitation of the time because i should of never should back except to get them respond. it puts the flashing in my su equipped see if i just encourage you to. quality is also tied to animal welfare as stressed animals make for worse, meet and on the lot. stressors are everywhere. eating green can cause ulcers and cattle. and they are often sick from the close quarters. transport and cattle is also stressful. so if you'd like to mit, less methane and meet is significantly cheaper. the grazing systems are better quality in animals, use less water and pollute less so far. they're winning on sustainability when viewed from a global scale, though, it's a different story. so a lot of discussions focus on the farm level for the food food system is massive.

its global janet ranking asked and is an expert in calculating and evaluating greenhouse gas emissions. gene can't just focus on practices that might improve things at the bottom that we use. i flip, what is the system the and if the system level land use is the most important consideration even including land to go green, b lots use land more efficiently than grading systems according to german organic was that can only be about one full grown cow per tech tear of land for scale. one hacked here is roughly 2 american football fields. that's a lot of land which we're running out. it's globally, we're using 2 thirds of our land to raise livestock. as more people eat meat, more land is the for us to to use for past year. we're losing $3000000.00 hectares per year. this way, it's a huge problem, especially in the amazon rain for us 40 percent of tropical forest las occurs and present one of the world's largest beef producers production. there is also extremely inefficient and that's something that needs to change. one of the most

important things we do is to increase the productivity of livestock, and there's a huge kind of many people patient opportunity to do that because the productivity levels across the globe can vary by a 100 from one of the most hyped ways to increase productivity is rotational grazing. it's a practice of intensively grazing an area and then moving the animals to let it recover. it's been used by shepherds around the world for centuries and became popular in the 1950s in the us as a response to the greeting. pastor and climate change is putting it in the spotlight again. live stuff to address climate change and does advocate this ted talk has been viewed over a 1000000 times. your 3 key aspect of this technique. a more cattle, dividing a passers and planning agrees invitation instead of one cow per hector. think for their intensive grazing of a smaller area stimulates plants to grow faster and put down deeper routes. a new plan you. ready or a great team, but carefully,

you are able to extract the best nutrients all their forages. and therefore you are able to read you your read relative methane emissions. it will not fired, but based on the airport to use more meaningful or more beef. rotational grazing is more efficient without the environmental impacts of the feed lot. field studies like this one is also shown that it improves so quality. and the quest is carbon via the cat grass grows, sucking up c o 2, which is eaten by the animals. as a trembled inventor, the carbon is stored under, grabbed the phone is going to by using it, they're producing carbon neutral be. so these calculations don't really add up method, nitrous oxide are way more potent than c o 2. so this well would have to continuously store way more carbon to make up for the emissions and the animals. and that's just not how soil works. the amount of carbon no defined a storage source is limited to inform you with rich. i've talked to the agent, so those are also wildly different around the world to accomplish very complex.

when you implement practice to increase your company, you're at war with the microphone just and working perfectly. rotational grazing still uses a lot of land. studies have found around twice as much of feedback. it's not a silver bullet. the trouble is there is some familiar faces painting. it is one. this study was funded by general mills, if grazing his carbon neutral, there's no reason for them to cut down on the production this movie about the benefits of rotational grazing was funded partially by show which uses the practice to offset fossil fuel emissions. but swell is not unless carbon sinks, so offsetting oil doesn't make sense. and because rotational grazing uses more precious land, converting craft builds into pastor doesn't add up either. especially in places that produce massive amounts of meat. where it does make sense is places where people struggle to get enough protein or places with highly inefficient breathing systems. yes, we absolutely need to use these practices in places like columbia and countries in africa where these rotational partners actually restore. so helping increase

productivity, that makes a huge lot of sense. another country where it makes a huge amount of sense is presented as the world's 2nd largest exporter of meet. improving efficiency will have a massive impact. rotational grazing could decrease deforestation and restore degraded areas. so if we continue to eat meat pie that's also have their place, but they need fixing and they can be more sustainable without making meet super expensive restrictions on the number of animals and requirements for them to have time outside improves animal welfare feed additives like algae can reduce methane emissions from cattle, nor can be treated to release less greenhouse gases, and not letting it sit for long periods of time can limit its impact in law's limiting antibiotic use and feed lots, reduced antibiotic resistance. no matter what though, this needs to go hand in hand with reduced consumption in some places. if we actually the limited beef consumption to about one and a half time brokers a week, we could to still continue to enjoy. so we can eat beef without ruining the planet,

sort of people in places like the u. s. and e, you need to eat lots of it. that's the most effective way for them to lower their carbon footprint. and whether through better grazing or feed lots, we can make the production more sustainable by improving efficiency. but even so, producing beef is not good for the environment. so ensuring we change the current system is absolutely key to a future level of planet. so what do you think, friend or dinner account with us? can we eat them and still be sustainable? and because i got my shoes really dirty, please let us know in the comments and don't forget to subscribe. because we, we've got new videos every friday, the
