- The Earth is in the middle of a climate crisis, with rising temperatures, more intense storms, and massive wildfires occurring regularly.
- The idea that organically-raised livestock may be better for the planet has been floated for some time, but a new study shows it's not any different than conventionally-raised meat sources.
- Organic livestock practices may still be better for the animals themselves.
The Earth is warming up. You might not notice in your day-to-day life, but the increasingly devastating storms, massive wildfires, and catastrophic die-off of the ocean's tropical reefs are undeniable. We know that greenhouse gases from fossil fuels are a huge burden on the planet and climate, but farming has also been cited as a contributor to such emissions.
Organic farming, both in plants and animals, has grown in popularity in recent years for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, if you were hoping that organic livestock was somehow better for the planet than conventional practices are, a new study crushes that dream soundly.
