Animal agriculture is frequently indicted as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. However, animal agri­culture is not without defenders, including those who claim that holistically managed livestock graz­ing systems could actually “reverse climate change” (Savory, 2013). Various studies suggest that the environmental impacts of food animal production differ significantly among management systems—particularly confinement versus pasture-based systems (Koneswaran & Nierenberg, 2008). Due to its complexity, this controversy will not likely be resolved by science. Instead, the wisdom of Indige­nous peoples may prove more useful in deciding whether to eat or not eat meat. . . .</p> <p>See the <a title="press release archive " href="http://www.icontact-archive.com/archive?c=488966&f=60033&s=84565&m=986999&t=257c360ddc23fcec50d37942ed548ee4169a6c0d76d51e227fa886af9ecdf0c7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">press release</a> for this article. </p>}, number={B}, journal={Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development}, author={Ikerd, John}, year={2019}, month={Dec.}, pages={5–7} }
