George Monbiot @georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 29/04/20258. Livestock consumption per se is a massive waste: of land, water, fertiliser and the living planet as a whole. If you farm animals intensively (almost all your animal products are produced this way), you trash the rivers. If you farm them extensively (grass-fed blah), you trash vast areas of land. 221835

Jamnic77 @jamnic77.bsky.social · 29/04/2025You feed the soil biome and improve the nutrient density if you do it sensibly. Don't feed the livestock grains. Go back to traditional farming that echoes the natural landscape of grazing livestock, and growing a range of foods around them. No more monoculture soil depletion. 120
