the lifecycle analysis at white oak pastures has shown that they are carbon negative they are sequestering more carbon into the soil than they are producing
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

they are the regenerative farm they are doing the good work they're raising their cows so well and you can tell on the meat this is amazing nutritive meat that is giving us big brains as I talked about in the book and healthy everything's healthy muscles healthy libidos healthy minds everything healthy healthy everything you know it gives you wholly everything healthy eyes healthy pancreas is whatever healthy liver is healthy hearts these are the nourishing things for humans check out pal camp Oh calm use carnivore MD they are for 20% off you can also check out my people my wondrous boys and girls who are my friends my tribe white oak pastures you guys know them white oak pastures calm but they are a sixth generation 150 year in the family farm they are regenerative for the last 20 years they are the mothership in my opinion then really how I learned about the regenerative agriculture movement which can sequester carbon to the soil and increase the organic matter there
the soil organic matter content has gone from 0.5 to 5 percent
they have suet and organ meats they are sixth generation farm that is now regenerative for the last 20 years you can see in the book and many other places that the amount of carbon in the soil there is increasing significantly and that I believe is the main metric that will determine the persistence of human life on this planet
they are really leading the charge in the regenerative agriculture space 120-year family farm the last 22 years regenerative increasing the soil carbon from 0.5 to 5 being the model for grass-fed grass-finished regenerative agriculture
white oak pastures is a sixth generation regeneratively farmed space the mothership as i like to call it in bluffton georgia the soil there is the color of coffee grounds it is dark dirt that is full of carbon the grass is green the cows are happy there are birds flying everywhere because this is the way that animals should be raised
they had started at less than half a percent i think they're that at the 20-year mark they were well up in the high single-digit percentages but the key thing is that in the first five years they had a 300 percent improvement in soil organic carbon okay
so raising more ruminants on this planet that are raised that way from farms like white oak pastures decreases carbon in the environment so i have a shirt that i always wear and i didn't wear it today um it says eat meat save the planet like you know if you were to eat meat from white oak pastures which is down in georgia and you should come december 14th and 15th we're going to be in georgia i know you're a busy guy but like you should check out white oak pastures they're carbon negative they had a life cycle analysis by usc they sequester more carbon into the soil than they produce so if we support farms like that we can decrease overall all greenhouse gases
this is a graphic from white oak pastures showing soil organic matter soil carbon and it goes from over the course of 20 years it goes from one percent carbon or one percent organic matter to five percent organic matter in the soil
what they found i'll show you the summary here is that the net total emissions for the cows raised at white oak pastures were negative 3.5 meaning that they sequestered these cows sequestered more carbon into the soil than they produced
our grass-fed beef that we sell we actually sequester 3.5 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent every pound of grass-fed beef we sell so all these things that Paul described it has been proven scientifically by a third party environmental engineering group
especially not the cows that are raised like you do at White Oak pastures they're they're cycling this carbon and as a part of that process they're doing a couple of amazing things number one they're turning grass which humans cannot eat into delicious nutritious animal meat and organs and number two they're a part of changing that light brown colored weak soil which is only one percent organic matter to the coffee grounds five percent organic matter soil that prevents runoff and erosion that you're talking about
this type of beef is going to be carbon negative there have been life cycle analyses of regenerative Farms like white oak Pastors in Georgia showing that they're carbon negative meaning they sequester more carbon into the soil than is actually produced in the creation of this beef
We know there are multiple studies showing that regenerative agriculture like white oak pastures does is carbon neutral or carbon negative. The cows fix more carbon into the soil than is actually produced when the cows are alive.
