[QUOTE="holwellcourtfarm, post: 7652890, member: 42914"] But, again, it's an unfair comparison unless you restrict yourself to grassland on class 2 or 1 land. What's the carbon footprint of growing wheat on hill ground? Or on wet river meadows? That's where most UK grassland is, after all. Also, shouldn't the QUALITY of the food come into it? Compare [I]per kg of bioavailable protein[/I] and pasture raised meat would knock the socks off plant based foods. Excessive consumption of processed cereals and maize underpins much of our current health crisis. None of this is obvious or easy. [/QUOTE]
