[QUOTE="Ffermer Bach, post: 7658499, member: 51054"] I have read a lot on the subject, and yes, trees are important, great for wildlife and visual enhancement of our environment, in terms of carbon sequestration though, it is a bit more nuanced, grassland managed appropriately sequests far more and is better for climate change. Problem is saying "eat traditional breeds fed on pasture that is ideally mob graze or regeneratively farmed sequests carbon" does not have the same ring to it, and is a harder sell. Studies have shown, birch taking over the hills in Norway is increasing global warming! And all this is without planting trees on peat land (which emits so much carbon held in the peat), or the loss of biodiversity with blanket spruce planting (which also destroys communities through loss of critical mass needed to keep vibrant). Those are why, some people are negative. Listening to Prince Charles on the radio today, he gets it, but the general population do not listen to him. [/QUOTE]
