Grazing Smarter: How Livestock Can Help Fight Climate Change

Soil is far more than just the ground beneath our feet—it is one of the planet’s largest and most important carbon reservoirs. Remarkably, more than two-thirds of all agricultural land worldwide is used for livestock grazing, positioning grazing as a significant factor influencing the fate of soil carbon. This reality has fueled growing interest in whether improved grazing practices could enhance soil carbon storage and contribute meaningfully to climate change mitigation.
