When is grazing sustainable?

This animated infographic by the Organic Climate Network and BC3 Research debunks common myths about extensive livestock farming. It presents scientific evidence across five themes—biodiversity, carbon sequestration, land and water use, and greenhouse gas emissions—demonstrating that well-managed grazing systems can support biodiversity, enhance soil carbon storage, and mitigate climate change. The video challenges the notion that pastoralism is inherently unsustainable, emphasizing that environmental degradation has accelerated since industrialization, not due to grazing. It promotes evidence-based policy and public discourse on sustainable livestock systems. Related research and tools are available via the Organic Farm Knowledge platform and BC3 Research.
