More evidence that grass-finished beef has higher land use & higher GHG emissions than grain-finished (conventional) beef per kg of meat produced.
Also, important to include the carbon opportunity costs of cropland & pastureland use when comparing climate impacts of foods and production systems. 🧪

Carbon opportunity cost increases carbon footprint advantage of grain-finished beef
Beef production accounts for the largest share of global livestock greenhouse gas emissions and is an important target for climate mitigation efforts. Most life-cycle assessments comparing the carbon ...
