Cows emit greenhouse gases when they eat, which contributes to global warming. But is it possible to produce meat in a climate-friendly way? Grace Livingstone visits a carbon neutral certified ranch in Uruguay, where farm manager Sebastian Olaso shows her around. She also meets Javier Secadas, a small farmer who raises cattle on natural grasslands, and agronomist Ignacio Paparamborda, from the University of the Republic in Montevideo. Grace hears from Pete Smith, Professor of Soils and Global Change at the University of Aberdeen, and Dominik Wisser, Livestock Policy Officer, from the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organisation. She tries to find out if it is possible to produce meat in a way that is both good for nature and the climate. Or whether we need to stop eating meat to cut emissions.

Hello and welcome to the food chain.
From the BBC World Service, I'm Grace Livingstone.
Today we're talking about meat and global warming.
Is it possible to have carbon neutral meat?
What does that even mean?
Let's start with the basics.
What do cattle have to do with climate change?
Can you just explain how the cows emit methane?
Basically, the cows are eating grass and then they're just farting.
No, it's burking.
Could grasslands actually absorb more greenhouse gases than cows emit?
