Description
Sustainability is an oft-used word – but is it more than a lofty ideal
For one man, it is much more.
Retired large animal veterinarian and bovine pharamceutical consultant Dr. Paul Christiansen explores the science behind the gifts of marginal land, the regenerative power of the grasslands, the cycling of carbon, and the remarkable magic within a cow’s rumen. Drawing on decades of experience, he distills complex ideas into a clear engaging narrative that shows how cattle and grasslands thrive together.
Building on that science, Dr. C introduces thirty-one ranches from across North America and South America- hard-working, innovative stewards whose stories prove that protein can indeed be produced sustainably from marginal land and unsuitable for traditional farming.
Keepers of the Grass blends research and real-world wisdom to reveal the conversion brilliance of the rumen and the people who depend on it. The result is a hopeful, eye-opening look at how true sustainability begins on the land itself.
