New report highlights the importance of grazed livestock
23/05/2025

The Sustainable Food Trust have recently published a new report 'Grazed Livestock, it's not the cow but the how'.
While headlines often present all meat and dairy in the same negative light, Grazing Livestock: It’s not the cow but the how highlights the environmental and nutritional benefits of food produced from animals raised on pasture, with a minimal use of synthetic fertilisers, chemical inputs or arable feeds. Able to thrive on a diet of grassland plants that humans cannot consume, these animals play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, building healthy soils, locking carbon in the ground, and sustaining rural communities – all while producing nutrient-rich food.
