Blog-post by Tara Garnett: Why eating grass-fed beef isn’t going to help fight climate change

Tue, 10/03/2017 - 07:54 -- Tara Garnett

This blog-post is written by Dr Tara Garnett, coordinator and lead researcher at the FCRN. It originally appeared in The Conversation on the 3rd October and is reposted here with permisssion. Tara’s work centres on the interactions among food, climate, health and broader sustainability issues and she has a particular interest in livestock as a sector where many of these converge.

She is also interested in how knowledge is communicated to and interpreted by policy makers, civil society organisations and industry, and in the values that these different stakeholders bring to food problems and possible solutions.
