How can livestock be a part of the climate solution? The natural carbon cycle explained.

Methane is part of a natural, or biogenic, carbon cycle where the methane breaks down into CO2 and water after about 12 years. The grass then absorbs the CO2 through photosynthesis, cows eat the grass and the cycle continues.

This animation shows how the environmental impact of methane emissions from cows is fundamentally different to the carbon dioxide from fossil fuels.

Plant-based fake meat

Plant-based fake meat tries very hard to mimic real meat but how is it actually made? 

Generally, these products come from a plant source like soybeans or wheat. The plant goes through extensive processing to extract protein isolates which are then added to other concentrates and thickeners. Oils, colouring, flavours and other food additives are then included to make it look and taste more like meat.

Plant-based fake meats are ultra-processed, manufactured foods that are not nutritionally interchangeable with natural, nutritious and sustainable Australian red meat.
