"The Protein Problem: Raising Better Beef"

"No food is harder on the environment than beef. Here's how ranchers and researchers are trying to make burgers less burdensome."

"For generations, beef has been a way of life in Texas, the most quintessential of American main courses, and a premium protein around the world. It’s also the single most damaging food for the planet. Beef is the largest agricultural source of greenhouse gasses worldwide, and it has a bigger carbon footprint than any other type of protein."

The Associated Press had the story November 16, 2023, wth text by Scott McFetridge, photography by David Goldman, video by Shelby Lum, and data by Nicky Forster.
