"Defending Beef" by Nicolette Hahn Niman (2nd Edition)

Grounded in empirical scientific data and with living examples from around the world, Defending Beef builds a comprehensive argument that cattle and other properly managed livestock can help to build carbon-sequestering soils to mitigate climate change, enhance biodiversity, help prevent desertification, and provide invaluable nutrition. While no single book can definitively answer the thorny question of how to feed the Earth’s growing population, Defending Beef makes the case that, whatever the world’s future food system looks like, cattle and beef managed in a regenerative system must be part of the solution.
