•Firstly, research has proven that climate damage caused by organic meat production is just as high as conventionally formed meat and the livestock are often fed grass instead of imported fodder, essentially producing less meat and growing slowly. Since livestock emissions come from methane gas produced by cows and sheep, it means organic livestock spend more time omitting greenhouse gasses before slaughter.
•Secondly, as organic farming does not require the use of chemical fertilisers, it requires more land to produce the same number of commercial crops as compared to its commercial counterpart. This results in deforestation, reduced storage capacity for carbon in soils responsible for holding moisture, plant nutrient and fertility.
