As we look toward a more sustainable food system to keep up with a growing population, understanding how different livestock production systems work, and how they use resources around them is an important step in the right direction. 1/

Brandon Lee didn’t know anything about farming. He didn’t know anything about pigs. But he knew what kind of pigs he wanted to raise, and how he wanted to raise them on the Big Island of Hawaii. 🌴 1/

California loses tens of thousands of acres of grasslands to wildfires each year, but could grazing cattle help reduce some of that risk? 🔥 1/

Following the premiere of Alltech’s documentary, “World Without Cows” in New York City, Dr. Frank Mitloehner joined filmmakers and producers, Michelle Michael, Brandon Whitworth, Josh Tickell and President and CEO at Alltech, Mark Lyons for a panel discussion about the film. 1/

[Mark Lyons @thelyonstale]

Five years ago, we asked a question. This week, we put it in Times Square.

Seeing World Without Cows on a billboard in New York City, alongside bringing the film to the Roxy for our premiere, is one of those moments that makes you pause and appreciate just how far an idea can travel. The story is about the future of our food. The story behind the film is about belief, resilience, and determination.

I have spent years wearing a World Without Cows hat or shirt and explaining what we were working on. Having a billboard now brings us a new way to start that conversation. Soon, everyone will be able to see the film and start their own.

But what makes this moment so meaningful is thinking about the people whose stories brought us here. Farmers who welcomed Michelle and Brandon onto their land. Scientists who shared their research. Families who helped us understand what cows mean to their livelihoods, their culture, and their future.

Now, those stories have reached a screen in The Big Apple, with an invitation in Times Square for many more people to discover them. My father would have loved it, likely encouraging everyone to drive to New York to get their photo.

I am grateful to Emily Orozco, who did an amazing job guiding such a thoughtful conversation about the film and the importance of storytelling, and to Michelle, Brandon, Josh Tickell, and Dr. Frank Mitloehner for joining me in reflecting on why this project matters.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Roxy, to Michelle and Brandon, and to the remarkable network of colleagues, partners, and friends who have helped bring this project into the world.

Dublin, London, Los Angeles, and New York. Four very different places, each part of a journey we had imagined for so long.

These premieres are the beginning of a much bigger ambition: bringing World Without Cows to communities around the world and giving people a reason to come together, create curiosity, and talk about the future of our food.

Now, where should we take it next? Details are coming together, but the short answer is closer to you.

With Dr. Mitloehner @GHGGuru lending his expertise in livestock sustainability in a segment of the film, it’s exciting to see the story reach audiences far beyond agriculture. 🌍 🐄 🐂 2/2
