Put down that veggie burger. These farmers say their cows can solve the climate crisis

Getting the carbon back into the soil by grazing animals on it. The soil can take a lot of carbon, but not forever, although it can give us a big window to switch away from fossil fuels.

Turning the land back to its natural habitat is appealing, and it will lower the use of fertilisers and chemicals used. It gets the animals out of the cruel factory farms too

Slabbert says he has rejuvenated the land by drastically increasing his cattle herd. He hems the animals into a rectangular patch of grassland with a low-current wire. For several hours, they eat all of the grasses they can find before the wire lifts, and the cattle rapidly move into a new section.

They are always moving, never selectively eating, just like a migratory herd. The method is called ultra-high density grazing. "These cattle are replenishing the land," Slabbert says.
