Had a blast talking with the team from @The_BCI about giving cows the setup they need for rebreeding success. Do you calve your heifers before your mature cows? #HerdonCattleChat

THREAD 🧵
A recent @TheEconomist article has claimed that we should treat beef like coal to save the planet. We need to reduce emissions where we can, including livestock, but I have a few issues with their story.
Let’s debunk some claims, shall we?

One of the important learnings from the latest IPCC report —- not new to us but now on the record.
#IPCCAR6 Ch7 pg123 'Expressing methane emissions as CO2 equivalent emissions using GWP-100 OVERSTATES the effect of constant methane emissions on global surface temperature BY A FACTOR OF 3-4 [...] while understating the effect of new methane emission source by a factor of 4-5'.
What a way to wrap up a week of positivity about working together to build a positive world. The future is everything. Thanks @Alltech for so much more than just #ONEbigIdea #DreamBig

1st up: cows are the sole reason for deforestation
Debunked:
👆In the U.S. ag land use has DECLINED over the past 50+ years. ers.usda.gov/amber-waves/201…
✌️Globally, yes cattle ranchers are agents of deforestation, but they are NOT the PRIMARY agents fao.org/forestry/18222-045c2…

Nothing can hold us down! 💪 "2020 showed the tremendous character of the people in the ag industry to navigate uncharted waters and continue to put meat, milk, and eggs on the plates of 7.8 billion people."

With increasing concerns surrounding pesticides, deforestation & gas emissions, the need for alternative protein sources has become clear. Rethink the future of animal feed & look beyond traditional proteins for more sustainable solutions.

1. Set a goal
2. Figure out the steps to achieving that goal that are within your control.
3. Mostly forget about the goal and focus on nailing the steps instead.

Whether it’s your PhD or a new hobby, the longer you work at something, the more chances you have to make mistakes. We often think of mistakes as a sign of failure, when in reality they’re usually a sign of effort. I’m working to remember this as both a learner and a leader.

Researchers @virginia_tech say removal of cows in the U.S. would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by less than one percent, while significantly lowering the available supply of essential nutrients for humans. 1/
