Climate change and climate-change mitigation have become buzz phrases over the past five to 10 years, with the call for more direct action from global citizens to limit the impact of human activities on the climate.
This has been particularly highlighted by various organisations that have called for people to limit the amount of meat they consume, or eliminate meat from their diets altogether.
The idea behind this is that livestock are important and significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions, which have led to global warming and, inevitably, climate change.
However, despite the claims of such naysayers, cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry have been shown to have a positive impact on the environment.
Of course, this doesn't mean that there isn't any room for improvement
