Does regenerative grazing offset beef emissions?

Soil carbon gains are real but finite, saturate after a few decades and are readily reversed; reviews find they don't offset the methane and land cost of beef.

Can you farm without animal inputs?

Yes — veganic systems use green manures, legume rotations, compost and mulches instead of manure and slaughterhouse by-products.
