1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Today we are joined by Forage Agronomist and Ruminant Nutritionist, Dr. Peter Ballerstedt. His main message for us today is simply this: there is no sustainable food system without ruminant animal agriculture. Ruminant animals (like cows), have gotten a bad rap (from an environmental and a dietary perspective) for a long time, but Dr. Ballerstedt is here to show us the facts—and those facts run quite contrary to the popular perspective. We discuss no-till farming, cover crops, and the importance of soil health, all the while making connections between these agricultural topics and human health/general well-being. We also discuss the contention that, from a food-ethics perspective, the lowest possible amount of organisms are harmed by human agriculture (all things considered) when people eat large herbivores. &amp;nbsp; Contact Info: &amp;nbsp; Dr. Peter Ballerstedt Website: http://grassbasedhealth.blogspot.com/ Twitter and Instagram: @grassbased Facebook: Grass Based Health Dr. Brian Lenzkes: Website: http://www.lowcarbadvisor.com/ Dr. Tro Kalayjian: Website: https://www.doctortro.com/ Low Carb MD Podcast http://LowCarbMD.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/13795079/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/item/13795079
