Can meat production be carbon neutral?

Personally, I’m conflicted regarding the moral case against taking another life for meat (I'm a part time vegan), but the environmental argument generally seems to be flawed.

We need to try and stop eating meat from environmentally destructive (and barbaric) factory farming, yes, but meat from regenerative farming? Potentially ok, or even beneficial for the environment.

Given that meat production is dominated by industrial factory farming, sourcing meat from regenerative farming is barely an option at the moment, so I’m pretty sure moving more towards an organic and local (where possible) plant based diet is still definitely the most environmentally friendly thing we can do.

But maybe see if there’s a regenerative farm near you and go check it out.
