Forward Farms - raising carbon neutral beef

Forward Farms is a network of more than 50 independent ranches in the Intermountain West and Pacific Northwest producing grass-fed, grass-finished beef using regenerative agriculture. The company focuses on producing “carbon-neutral raised” beef by measuring both the greenhouse gas emissions from cattle and the carbon captured in pasture soils and vegetation. Through practices like year-round grazing, maintaining diverse grasslands, and improving soil health, participating ranches increase carbon sequestration. When the carbon captured across the network equals or exceeds emissions from livestock and operations, the beef qualifies as carbon neutral. Forward Farms uses this model to show how regenerative ranching can reduce the climate impact of beef production while maintaining sustainable food systems.
