Surely it is easy to get to net zero with livestock.
All permanent grass.
Only eat grass or hay, or silage as long as it isn't wrapped.
Never house anything.
Use stored water or rivers.
No fertilizer and only use clover for nitrogen.
Sell all produce to local outlets and slaughter at the local abattoir just up the road.
Drive all livestock along the roads again.
Cattle hides used for clothing or furnishings.
Sheep skins for clothing and Ugg boots.
Wool for warm jumpers.
Have a good sized veg garden with fruit bushes and trees.
Have enough vines to make decent wines.
Barley and hops for beer.
Use coppiced timber for fencing and firewood.
Maybe have an electric bicycle to go to Town charged from solar panels.
No problem to get to net zero.
And quadruple food prices as a result.
No problem for farmers…..but the public probably wouldn’t be too impressed.
