| Why Certified Grassfed by AGW Meat and Dairy is Awesome (and Why That Matters) |
| Dear AGW Farmers and Ranchers,
Many of you have told us that you’re getting questions from customers about the sustainability of meat and dairy products. The conversation has become incredibly polarized, and farming is being painted as the scapegoat for climate change.
To help clear up some of the misinformation out there, we created a simple web page you can sharewith folks to show how high-welfare, grassfed and pasture-based systems are actually part of the solution–not the problem. We even made a QR code you can download for free and add to your brochures, website, farm posters and other materials for quick and easy reference.
Check out the new page here (QR code download is at the bottom)
Feel free to share widely!
Thanks for all you do,
Your Friends at A Greener World |
