Lowering Stocking Rates on Public Lands MUST Produce Significant Reduction in Carbon Emissions
Globally, cattle are responsible for 14.5 percent of greenhouse gas emissions. The US Taxpayer is heavily subsidizing the cattle industry using western public lands for grazing. Only 2 percent of the subsidized beef is consumed in America.
These subsidies take the form of privileged lease rates, far below commercial grazing leasing and only available to an elite few ranchers in just thirteen states. These subsidies are in the form of privileged use of the US public lands to obtain business loans using the grazing lease as collateral. These subsidies include minimal renewal processing – usually just a white wash rather than an auditable review.
A budget amendment is required to state:
"Congress directs the Bureau of Land Management to lower the livestock stocking rate on public lands so that sustainable environmental conditions are achieved. Significant reduction in carbon emissions from cattle industry use of public lands must be reported to Congress annually ahead of / or associated with the agency budget request”.
