Overview

Livestock encompasses the health, welfare, diversity, and management of domesticated animals within agrifood systems.   


Regeneration recognizes livestock as sentient beings whose welfare is intrinsically valuable, not just instrumental to production. Well-managed livestock also contributes to nutrient cycling, soil health, and resilient pastures, while producing nutrient-rich, ethically raised food, fiber, and other products that support livelihoods and human health.  


Livestock management influences soil structure, carbon storage, pasture diversity, and water regulation. Livestock outcomes are shaped by feed systems, input choices, labor conditions, and the enabling conditions fostered by community, governance, and finance.
