There is no peer-reviewed science that show that regenerative grazing / rotational grazing, whatever you want to call it, is better for greenhouse gas emissions than conventional grazing systems. They also cause wildlife disruption with excessive fencing.

According to numerous studies from Oxford, Harvard, Washington State University, etc., grass-fed beef can produce 50 to 60 percent MORE greenhouse gas emissions than conventional farming. "Grass-fed" products required more land, more water, more fossil fuels and produced the most greenhouse gasses. This is a situation where the label is not just neutral greenwashing, its worse!

Regenerative grazing is the equivalent of "clean coal." Free-range, grass-fed, rotational grazing is something consumers want to believe is better, but it just doesn't hold water scientifically.
