A Case for Sustainable Meat Production
The Manifesto of Environmental Lawyer and Vegetarian Turned Cattle Rancher
by Nicolette Hahn Niman
As the effects of large scale animal production using factory farming techniques are becoming more and more evident, alternatives are also being more widely discussed. Adopting either a vegan or vegetarian diet are among the two “solutions” most widely touted; however a third and equally important option is raising animals in a small scale sustainable fashion.
Unfortunately, the essential role that livestock plays in small-scale farming, homesteading, and sustainable land management are largely ignored by “experts” looking at the problem from an industrial perspective and the ways that raising animal can help in the larger scale are often dismissed out of hand.
This book helps describe in clear and moving language many of these important points to consider.
