Nicolette Hahn Niman is an environmental lawyer, a former vegetarian, an advocate for meat, and also a mother and a cattle rancher. Often times on this podcast with guests that have done many interviews, I will take a more unexplored path - but you can always find other interviews in the links. In this interview, Nicolette and I explore Defending Beef and where meat was in 2014 at the time of its first publication and where it is now 8 years later with the new edition. We briefly touch on Livestock's Long Shadow and how a figure that was later retracted, launched a thousand vegan campaigns, when really the author of the paper's aim was to further concentrate animal feeding operations and eliminate grazing. Nicolette elegantly explains carbon, methane, and water cycles in relationship to meat. While meat has its fair share of vilification, this interview really focuses on what it means to BUILD a new system. We dive into not just the obvious benefits of raising meat regeneratively, but also the intangible benefits. Things like raising kids on ranches, building good citizens, strengthening microbiomes, preserving ecosystems from development, and coming home to rural communities. We also talk about husbandry and the contract that we entered into with animals as humans at the dawn of domestication and what it means to uphold those contracts. Nicolette dives into advocacy and policy as a vehicle for changing the landscape of our food system.  We also talk about:  Witnessing joy and finding mentors in our cattle How yields and centralization changed the industry & so much more Find Nicolette: Twitter: https://twitter.com/DefendingBeef (@defendingbeef) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/defendingbeef (Defending Beef) Book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/defending-beef-the-ecological-and-nutritional-case-for-meat-2nd-edition-nicolette-hahn-niman/8758155?ean=9781645020141 (Defending Beef: The Ecological and Nutritional Case for Meat (Second Edition) by Nicolette Hahn Niman ) Further Reading Mentioned:  It's worth noting that Defending Beef leaves a breadcrumb trail of other fantastic authors - so dive into the book for more! https://bookshop.org/p/books/wilding-returning-nature-to-our-farm-isabella-tree/6394219?ean=9781681373713 (Wilding by Isabella Tree) Resources Mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4ygsdHJjdI (Walter Jehne's Water Cycles) Related Ground Work Episodes: https://groundworkcollective.com/2022/08/09/episode23-stephan-vanvliet/ (Dr. Stephan van Vliet on the science behind regenerative ag) https://groundworkcollective.com/2022/09/06/episode27-will-harris/ (Will Harris on building rural communities ) https://groundworkcollective.com/2022/10/11/episode32-anne-dave/ (David Montgomery and Anne Bikle on building soil health) Other Podcasts Featuring Nicolette's Work: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/part-122-nicolette-hahn-niman-on-defending-beef-uncovering/id1393265937?i=1000521520461 (Nicolette on Peak Human ) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/meat-or-plants-which-is-better-for-reversing-climate/id1382804627?i=1000529568618 (Nicolette on Mark Hyman) Current Discounts for GW listeners: 15% off http://farmtrue.com (Farm True) ghee and body care products using code: KATEKAV15 Join the Ground Work Collective: Find a Farm: nearhome.groundworkcollective.com Find Kate: https://www.instagram.com/kate_kavanaugh/ (@kate_kavanaugh) More: groundworkcollective.com

Nicolette is an environmental law attorney, a former vegetarian activist turned cattle rancher, and the author of Defending Beef: The Ecological and Nutritional Case for Meat. Nicolette points out that healthy soil is one with diverse microbiological activity with earthworms, insects, microbes, bacteria, and fungi. Similarly, people need a balanced diverse nutrient-rich diet that provides nourishment for a healthy active lifestyle. Nicolette emphasizes we can learn from nature and do less tinkering with natural systems to focus on principles, practices, and real whole foods that are truly nourishing for soil, animals, and humans.For more information about sustainable and regenerative grazing in Virginia, please visit https://vaforages.org/ and check out Nicolette's new book and her case for sustainable grazing and livestock care at your local bookstore.

On this episode we welcome Nicolette Hahn Niman. The name might sound familiar to some of you. She's married to the pioneering California rancher Bill Niman, for one, but you might also know her as the author of two seminal works on ethical meat production, Righteous Porkchop and Defending Beef. Over the years, the former vegetarian and environmental attorney has become a passionate and outspoken advocate for sustainable food production and improved animal welfare. She's published pieces on those topics in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, HuffPost, and The Atlantic. And Chelsea Green has just published a new and expanded edition of Defending Beef: The Ecological and Nutritional Case for Meat. A lot has happened since the first edition of the book was published back in 2007. Since then, cattle have become nearly synonymous with human-caused climate change and environmental destruction. But are cattle inherently bad? Or … is there another side to the argument? In this conversation, you'll hear why she believes cattle, and other grazing animals, can be used as tools for restoring both human health and ecological balance. Beef, Niman argues, doesn't have to remain an environmental villain. She believes that wisely managed livestock can help repair ecosystems, fight climate change and improve human health — all at the same time.

Meat or Plants: Which is Better for Reversing Climate Change? | This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market, Athletic Greens, and Rupa HealthUsing the lens of Functional Medicine, we know we can't blame just one part of the body for disease or dysfunction. The same goes for agriculture and climate change. We can't just blame cows and call it a day. It's a complex issue that deserves a comprehensive plan of action. Regenerative agriculture recognizes the essential role of grazing animals in an ecosystem to create stronger soils, healthier crops, and produce better meat. On today's episode of The Doctor's Farmacy, I sit down with Nicolette Hahn Niman to explore where we've gone wrong when it comes to raising meat, some of the biggest areas to focus on for a positive climate impact, and so much more. As a vegetarian rancher for almost two decades who now eats meat, she offers a unique perspective on raising and eating animals. Nicolette Hahn Niman is a writer, attorney, and livestock rancher. She authored the books Defending Beef (2014, and second ed. 2021) and Righteous Porkchop (2009), as well as numerous essays for the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times. She has also written for The Atlantic, The San Francisco Chronicle, and The Earth Island Journal, among others. Nicolette has appeared on The PBS Newshour, The Dr. Oz Show, and in numerous films and documentaries, including Eating Animals and Sustainable. Previously, she was the Senior Attorney for the environmental organization Waterkeeper, where she focused on agriculture and food production; before that, she was an environmental lawyer for National Wildlife Federation. Today, she lives in Northern California with her two sons, and her husband, Bill Niman, founder of the natural meat companies Niman Ranch and BN Ranch.
