How the most powerful environmental groups help greenwash Big Meat’s climate impact

Factory farming is terrible for the environment. Environmentalists are sharply divided over what to do about it.

Yes WWF is not an environment group. It is a greenwashing group. Many people don't know that unfortunately.

I am involved with agriculture and food industry activism. I believe that if all elements of the food system are considered it is just as destructive as fossil fuels. But I also know that oversimplified solutions such as eating less meat and more plants are a poor solution. We must distinguish between feedlots and liquid manure slurry systems, and traditional small farms . A cow on pasture, intensively grazed can be a net sequester and increase biodiversity. Pigs can eat food waste.
