Worldwide, livestock tread on land that represents a major opportunity for our planet: by returning portions of this pastureland to the forests and grasslands that once grew there, we could sequester vast amounts of carbon, according to a new study.
This could get us substantially closer to the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels—but, such a dramatic transformation would only occur with dietary shifts across large parts of the planet.
Returning pastures to forest and grassland could roll back 16 years of global emissions
