Transforming food systems through the leading science and solutions. Because how we eat shapes everything.
🌎 Livestock dominates global land, yet yields little food.
🐄 Regenerative grazing can't scale without a major cut to beef & dairy.
⚠️Regenerative grazing: short-lived soil gains, long-lived CH4.
🌳Removing livestock revives ecosystems.

The real question is: what could this land do instead?
In most regions, it could support forests, native grasslands, wetlands, or plant foods that feed more people with far less impact.
Regenerative grazing largely lacks a unified definition, but put favorably, it's a method of moving cattle to let soil recover, boost biodiversity, and store some carbon.
Industrial giants like JBS and McDonald’s are pouring billions into it, using “regeneration” to rebrand beef as eco-friendly:
Out now, our launch report!
At COP30 next week dozens of panels will discuss regenerative grazing.
We've compiled the best science on the topic and compared grazing vs. plant-based with rewilding.
Coming Soon:
🔎 An AI search to access 7,000+ peer-reviewed studies we’ve collected over the past decade
📄 New reports on regenerative ag vs. rewilding, the economics of food system change, & an analysis of soy & health
🧠 Top facts by category, framed to make numbers count

Big news!
Plant Based Data is now the Institute for Future Food Systems, at IFFS.Earth
Same roots, stronger mission.
We still use science to drive action, and now we focus even more on amplifying solutions & countering disinformation.
