Latest attack on beef production didn’t have much impact

Last month, the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published results of a new study claiming beef production does far more damage to the environment than producing pork, poultry, eggs or dairy.

The report garnered some national media coverage, but in general, it did not seem to be as widespread or as long-lived as some previous reports on the environmental footprint of beef production.

At the Cattle Industry Summer Conference in Denver, we discussed that report and its impact with Kim Stackhouse, director of sustainability research for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.
