Hot off the BBC Press : 'The Planet Diet'
"big changes in diet are needed in order to protect the Planet from its human inhabitants, which growing at its present rate could be 10bn population by 2030 "

The amount of by product s from the food industry that are processed in to cattle feed. Most people think that all the things for animal feeds are grown exclusively where in reality most are by products of other industries.
You will need lots on there about the benefits of grazing livestock sequestering carbon into the soils. Will need someone cleverer than me to make it into a short sentence someone will read though 
Great idea btw. We really need to knock this vegan anti meat shite on the head now and no one is going to do it for us we have to do it ourselves so well done for taking the bull by the horns @delilah

To farm in harmony with nature requires animals.
Nowhere in nature does an ecosystem thrive without them.

Livestock turn sterile, barren wasteland into wildlife sanctuaries. They encourage insects, birds and small mammals.....and all free of charge!!
Northumberland Wildlife Trust ask to use my cattle as a tool for improving the diversity on one of their reserves. The results have been astonishing!

Remember the "carbon cycle " from school.

You need to find a picture of a grazing animal with a bird on it's back-that will say more than words ever can

It looks like TFF has produced a marketing campaign in a day. I wonder how long AHDB would have taken to produce anything similar, and at what cost??
Forget carbon footprint,we need carbon hoofprints.
A few off the top of my head:
1.Cattle are nature’s composters and oldest recyclers.
2.Pasture is a diverse habitat providing the food for the birds and the bees.
3.A KG of British beef protein produces less CO2 than a KG of South American Soya beans. Tofu is ecological and societal poison.
4.Milk and Dairy substitutes simply milk the planet. Nut milk is Nuts.
5.Pasture even baffles water. Natures flood defence.
6.Bovine emissions myths are a load of hot air.
7.There are less ruminants today than at any point in the last 3,000 years, the planet needs more cows.
8.Cows are Keto. Listen to your ancestors, Burn fat not sugar.
9.Life is better with a steak. Everything else is pretending to be a steak.
Or simply the bumper sticker from the NT cattleman’s association in the 1980’s:
10.Eat more beef ya baststards.

Keeping cows in the carbon cycle. (we can't sequester it without cattle)
Keeping carbon in our soils, (cows capture carbon)
