Until now I had concerns, about the whole world becoming vegetarian, due to saving water and energy. There won’t be any use for cattle any more and it extincts.

But now my concerns vanished.

This is indeed an old idea, not a new one. As sustainable farmers, we’re constantly finding that our “new bright ideas” were common practice 100 years ago.

In particular, manure on the traditional family farm was seen as a valuable commodity, and is being viewed that way again. Our livestock operation focuses on our meat (which happens to be rabbit) as a convenient, valuable by-product of the fertilization program for our raspberries.

My understanding is that it was only with the advent of industrial agriculture and cheap artificial fertilizers in the 1950s that that practice ended, since cows became so far from farms and chemical fertilizer so cheap as to make manure fertilizing not feasible. I think it’d be nothing but good for the environment if the pendulum swung back the other way.
