Sustainable beef production must balance high productivity with environmental and animal welfare considerations. Advanced technologies and efficient practices are essential to meet the growing global demand for beef while maintaining sustainability and economic viability.
In the realm of sustainable agriculture, the art of pasture and grazing farming stands out as a beacon of environmental stewardship and efficiency. This method not only nurtures healthier ecosystems but also plays a pivotal role in reducing carbon footprint and managing trace mineral excretion for a more sustainable future. Pasture and grazing farming utilize natural grasslands and rangelands, which are inherently renewable resources. This approach not only optimizes land use but also promotes biodiversity and carbon sequestration. According to Smith and Gregory3, integrating grazing systems effectively enhances soil health and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to overall sustainability (see Figure 1).
