    • Abstract:
      The article examines the impact of pastures on climate change. It cites a 2014 study by top scientists which found that the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased by 40 percent since the pre-industrial era. It explores how mainstream pasture-management practices negatively affect pastureland and offers tips for sustainable livestock grazing. It notes that smart land management practices will lock carbon in the soil which reduces global warming.
