And regenerative ranches fix the soil so that we can have function industry of agriculture and food provided as beef :) View quoted note →

Spreading misinformation isn't going to help your cause. Meat don't fix your health. The vast majority of obese and malnourished people eat meat. What you should say is reduce your intake of ultra processed foods and increase your intake of whole foods, meat is not a whole food unless you eat the fur but we can ignore that and include meat with eggs and vegetables and whole grains. That plus regular exercise outdoors. And if you wanted to go into more detail, reduce your sugars and choose better carbs, increase your proteins and fibres, and choose better fats. Can't tell people eating meat fixes their health, they will only end up eating the meat lovers pizza instead of the supreme, they'll eat more meat pies and ultra processed garbage. You don't have to eat meat to be healthy though anyway, humans are extremely adaptable. We evolved as frutivores, our ancestors more than 200 thousands years ago were eating fruit nuts insects leaves and the occasional root vegetable or bird egg. Climatic changes most likely pushed us onto the savannahs out of the jungles, our form changed, we stopped using our hands to aid mobility and started walking upright. But we still have the same teeth, we still have the same digestive system. There's a reason that we cook meat. There's a reason we grind grains and cook them ro make bread. Dogs and pigs are omnivores, look at what they can eat without getting sick. Their tolerance to microbes that grow on meat. You have to keep meat very clean to eat raw, they don't. It just happens we figured out how to process meat and grains to make them safe to eat.

My dream is to further develop this land into a bovine food forest. cell grazing where each cell is bordered with hedgerows and shelter belts of trees that supplement the cattles diet. Willows, apples, mulberry, poplar, sugergum, carob, grapes, etc. just off the top of my head I got lost somewhere with a few hundred different species of trees that are edible for cattle, those ones all grow well in my climate. Along with local natives for the birds and marsupials. We have a lot of birds that only fly short distances between trees and sugar gliders reptiles that all need groups of trees close to each other to move between so they can safely get to water and find more food. It can all coexist with the cattle. Chickens would be used for cleaning up the fallen fruit, certain things like apples would be strategically placed on contours where their fruit would be used to build soil fertility rather than robbing it like a traditional orchard. Silage would be made for winter each year from some of the deciduous trees, in winter grow oats for fodder where I grow the corn peanuts beans and squash in summer. This winter I actually cut back heaps on feed with how many pumpkins I grew. I'd like to stop buying feed all together the pasture isn't up to it in winter. the microclimates from trees alone helps heaps, normal winter paddock is on the edge of the forest but we haven't replaced the fences since the bushfires burnt them out. Which brings up another thing, certain trees, like those I mentioned earlier will actually slow down a bushfire. It takes so much heat to burn apple trees that a wall of them, provided you don't let them dry out, can actually block or divert a raging fire.

You have land already? How much and where?
