Three years ago, we set out to with a simple question: "Are we better off in a #WorldWithoutCows?"
From farmers & ranchers to scientists & academics, we scoured the planet to speak to the experts.
The answer: It's complicated.

This Is BIG ‼️
“I'm not making it up. The University of Nebraska just got a got done with one of their studies that the way to save the world on carbon is raise more cows. K. And that's because cows are carbon negative”
“They produce more oxygen than they put off methane and carbon. It means to eat more cheese burgers or steaks. Beef, to save the world.”
“According to a 2023 University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) report, beef production can be climate-neutral or even better if management practices are optimized to minimize emissions and maximize abilities to store carbon.
Some of the ways UNL research suggests that cattle’s carbon footprint can be reduced include:
Diet: Cattle that eat more forage and added fats produce less methane and other greenhouse gases than those that eat more grain and less forage. Fat supplements can also reduce the need for grain.
Production efficiency: Improving production efficiency can result in more cattle being marketed or more live weight being produced while using fewer resources. This can be achieved through breeding, feeding, and health programs.
Supply chain: Buying feed that’s grown nearby can reduce shipping emissions.”
We are going to get a cardano integration done with firefly to test it out and then see if SPOs like it. Long term, it can run all infrastructure as containers and allow for lightweight consensus. It's a project we are working closely with Blockfrost on

The USDA has handed out $3 billion to some of the country's largest agriculture corporations and associations to have them create ways to track and monitor farms and ranches greenhouse gas emissions. This is being done while the same administration is blaming agriculture for destroying the planet. It's not hard to guess what will come next. https://t.co/sp1UY3UE77
