HAPPY EARTH DAY 🌎

From those of us in animal agriculture who do care about our animals and the environment 👋🏼

Some fun facts:

🐄 Animal ag actually accounts for less than 4% of GHG emissions in the United States

🌾 Grazing animals can actually help with carbon sequestration

💦 94% of water allocated to beef production is from natural rainfall

🥩 If everyone gave up animal products, GHG emissions would only decrease by 2.6%

🥛 Producing a gallon of milk in 2017 used 30% less water, 21% less land and emitted 19% less GHG than it did in 2007

🌽 Majority of land used for grazing animals is not suitable for growing crops

🍳 Animal proteins are high quality, complete protein sources that feed millions of people - meaning they provide all of the essential amino acids your body needs, and will be more easily absorbed and used by your body than plant based protein sources

🌾 86% of the feed that is fed to the global livestock population is inedible by humans

Meat and dairy are INCREDIBLY nutritious, accessible and affordable options for people. And farmers + ranchers are continuing to produce more food using LESS resources 👏🏼

Every day is Earth Day for farmers 💃🏼
