He's the co-founder and chief executive of Modern Meadow, a Brooklyn-based startup that intends to use tissue engineering – also known as cell culturing or biofabrication – to create livestock products that require fewer inputs of land, water, energy and chemicals than conventional animal agriculture.
Freeing up that land would allow the regrowth of the forests and diverse habitats that were cleared to create livestock pastures, and this would have a drastic impact on climate-warming effects, since trees absorb carbon dioxide (as much as 48 pounds of it per tree per year).
Based on information about individual ownership of animals and local prices we created a livestock variable.
Thèse de Doctorat de l'ENGREF; CEMAGREF de Grenoble) definition, sheep grazing allowed the weed flora to colonise grassland boundaries via the gaps created by livestock trampling.
On the one hand, it compelled women to diversify their livelihoods beyond livestock outside of the home while on the other hand created more livestock-based work for them at home.
Some also say that some of the processes used to create transgenic livestock can harm the animals themselves.
"If I knew how to save like a normal person," he joked, "do you think I'd still be doing this?" A small, clan-based local government, the Galmudug State administration, is trying to establish a foothold in this area, and clan leaders want money from the United Nations to help create fisheries, livestock projects and other jobs to give young men an alternative to piracy.
If it is applied, the policy to create local livestock territories will favour farmer-herders' territories rather than agro-pastoralists' territories.
We demonstrate that there is a mismatch between the State's attempt to secure pastoralism by creating state livestock territories and mobile herders' territorialities.
The findings, reported in the 2 November issue of Science, may help scientists understand the evolution and spread of infectious diseases, as well as allow them to create hardier livestock.
