Saga Leslie and Skye Neulight are vegetarians but are interested in learning more about the meat industry in the United States. They visited a local farm to speak to cattle rancher Wes Myers to understand how cattle are raised. Carolita Landers, a graduate of animal science from Colorado State University, explains the different steps and processes required to bring beef from the farm to the table.
Saga and Leslie chat with their peer Fiona McLoughlin, a recent high school graduate from The Thacher School, about factory farming in the United States to contrast industrial and local farming.
After learning about the sustainability of meat consumption, they called Tom Burke, Chairman of think-tank E3G, for a global perspective on food security and sustainable animal agriculture.
