'The Ethical Butcher' sells meat from regenerative farms, they are showing that meat doesn't have to cost the earth.
I talked to Glen Burrows in this episode and was happy to be able to have him as a conversation partner which made this Talk (in which we also questioned and discussed different information each of us had on certain topics) very comfortable.
🌱🍖This episode is not about carnivorism or veganism per se. It is not about the right or wrong diet or even in particular about if it is right or wrong to kill animals.
This episode is supposed to explore how farming regeneratively, working in alignment with nature and adopting sustainable grazing practices etc. can actually regenerate soil and revitalize ecosystems.
Many of us hear "cattle", "meat" or even just the word "cow" and think "climate crisis" or "GHG emissions".
🌱This could not be further from the truth when it comes to regenerative farming. Meat and animal products will not be eliminated from this world and cattle will not be eliminated - and that is not what we need anyway.
There are methods that allow us to farm in ways that align with nature's cycle, where the loop is closed and we neither destroy soil and strip it of all living things nor create tons of "waste products" like polluted water, emissions or animal waste.
There are ways to create life and biodiversity, to grow on moist, dark soil that lives and breathes, where worms and billions of microorganisms 🐛🦋 are benefitting the ground and soil is not reduced to yellowish, dry clumps of nothing.
🌍🌿There is not only one answer to the world's problems,
neither in agriculture nor anywhere else.
There are different minds, different approaches, needs and experiences involved and if
they honor health, prosperity and most importantly the rhythm of the natural world - then no matter how much
we agree with them I think it is always always worth listening.
Thank you for listening to this Talk🌍🌊☀
which came alive through the voices of
Glen Burrows
and your host Stella Sage🌿
*please note that neither mine nor Glen´s entire views on animals rights, environmental and moral considerations or the science and politics behind diet, animal agriculture etc. were included in full, there are incredibly many nuances to these topics and none of that could ever be captured in one hour´s time, these are neither dietary guidelines nor is this a conversation about the only right way to do animal agriculture and the relationship between humans and animals
