Abstract

When it comes to climate change, agriculture and the livestock industry often get a bad rap. Around 14.5% of human-related greehouse gas (GHG) emissions come from livestock. However, both consumers and policymakers have a much looser grasp on the impact of "gras-fed" beef. Is grass-fed beef good or bad for the climate?
