Real ecologists are not anti-livestock. They will demand more nature-friendly practices, but will acknowledge the benefits of well-managed herds. Those hostile to animal farming as a matter of principle are using ecological activism as a smokescreen for an ideology of "purity".

In this terrible political wrangling and bitterness while our ship is sinking because of global biodiversity loss and desertification fueling climate change, emigration, violence and wars I would like to look on the bright side at the greatest success I am aware of in addressing

Nearby to each other desert ranches, same day, traditional vs regenerative ranch management.

We tend to think of weed pressure suppressing yields because of competing for water and nutrients. We often miss thinking about how the presence of weeds indicates soil dysfunction that causes yield drag, even when the weeds are 'controlled'. Spraying the weeds doesn't
