Impacts of a Multi-Species Pastured Livestock System
Holistic Management Does What it Says on the Tin
Jason Rowntree and team have finished the Life Cycle Assessment at White Oak Pastures.
White Oak Pastures (WOP) was sequestering 2.29 Mg C/ha/yr, which lowered its LCA footprint by 80%.
When comparing this to commodity animal production, the MSPR at WOP had a 66% lower GHG footprint after considering soil C.
Multi-species pasture rotation did require more land to produce the same amount of food compared to commodity, however, this land was restored from degraded cropland (peanut/cotton).
New Foundation Farms Ltd (NFF) and 5 Deep Limited (5 Deep) have come together to create an organisation that can support a scaled transformation to regenerative farming and land management.
Life, in its truest essence, is not an isolated phenomenon but a system—a complex, interwoven network where every thread contributes to the whole. So does it make more sense to define life as a process rather than as an entity?
