Welcome to The Red Barn

It's not that simple

We have discussed what would happen if we stopped animal agriculture and the minimal impact that such alternatives would have on the environment. What we haven't discussed is how livestock would be removed and what would happen to them or the land. For this episode, we bring a very recent publication to the table that evaluates different animal removal and land use strategies applied to the dairy industry if the U.S decided to stop consuming dairy products. The short answer is: it's not that simple.  Tune in to listen to the details!   Link to the publication: https://www.journalofdairyscience.org/article/S0022-0302(20)30785-2/fulltext Got a question in your mind?

My Journey

Today we will skip the ag talk and I will share a little bit about my journey. A good friend suggested that I should dedicate an episode to share who I am and why I do what I do. No paper discussion today, no facts about agriculture, none of that. Just me sharing my life story with y'all. The short version, of course. I hope you enjoy it! Got a question in your mind?

A world without livestock?

What would happen if we removed all animals from the agriculture sector in the US? In this episode, we look at the consequences of getting rid of animal agriculture and analyze if it would really be a practical solution to do such a thing.

Does the modern cattle industry contaminate more than in the 70's?

It is fair to think that because food production is more intensified now, the impact on the environment is far greater than what it was in the past; especially when it comes to animal agriculture. Research indicates the opposite. In this episode, we discuss how improvements in efficiency have reduced the carbon footprint of the modern beef and dairy industry. Efficient cattle = less environmental impact. Do you want to know how? Tune in to learn more with science-based information. Got a question in your mind?
