As the sun rises, a cow’s warm breath is lit up in the cold morning air at Colorado State University’s research pens in Fort Collins, Colo., Thursday, March 9, 2023. No food is harder on the environment than beef. Some researchers and a growing number of ranchers believe there are solutions that address climate change and fill demand, for a world in which people can buy, cook and eat beef with a clear conscience. They point to efforts to change how cattle are raised to retain more carbon in the ground, to develop feed supplements that reduce gas releases, and to make genetic breakthroughs so animals digest their food without brewing up harmful gases.

Cattle wait for Conner Cox, infield service technician with C-Lock, to finish servicing a GreedFeed machine so they can enter to receive treats of alfalfa pellets at Colorado State University’s research pens in Fort Collins, Colo., Wednesday, March 8, 2023. The methane, carbon and other gases that cattle breathe out are measured in the machines while the pellets entice them to stay and keep eating. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Meredith Ellis, center left, sits at the kitchen table next to her son, GC, 6, mother Mary, right, and father, also named, GC, at their ranch in Rosston, Texas, Thursday, April 20, 2023. Ellis’ parents built this ranch and it’s where she was raised, roaming with her brother through the pastures, creeks and hardwood forests as the family added land and cattle over the years. But now it’s Ellis’ turn to make the decisions, and she takes over at a time when the beef industry faces questions around every corner, how to increase cattle prices as inflation soars, if herd numbers need to be reduced amid long-term drought and most importantly, whether cattle can coexist with efforts to reduce heat-trapping greenhouse gases.

Meredith Ellis counts cattle at her ranch in Rosston, Texas, Thursday, April 20, 2023. The cattle part as Ellis edges her small four-wheeler through the herd, silently counting the cows and their calves. It’s the way she starts most days on her 3,000-acre ranch: ensuring all the cattle are safe, deciding when they should move to another pasture, and checking that the grass is as healthy as her animals. “We’re looking for the sweet spot where the land and cattle help each other,” Ellis says as she rumbles down a narrow dirt road to check on another herd. “You want to find that balance.” (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Meredith Ellis calls out to her cattle so they’ll follow her to graze on a different pasture at her ranch in Rosston, Texas, Thursday, April 20, 2023.

Much of Ellis’ work evolved from the ranching her father practiced for decades. Her parents built this ranch, and it’s where Ellis was raised, roaming with her brother through the pastures, creeks and hardwood forests as the family added land and cattle over the years. But now it’s Ellis’ turn to make the decisions. She’s implemented changes her father couldn’t dream of because for her and other ranchers, their livelihoods and the future of the planet are on the line. (AP Photo/David Goldman)

Meredith Ellis takes a photo of a new species of flower she’s noticing for the first time on at her ranch in Rosston, Texas, Wednesday, April 19, 2023. By building up resilient, hardy grass, Ellis wants not only to store more carbon but to lengthen the time her cattle can live off the grass, rather than be fed supplemental feed. It means that Ellis focuses on soil health just as much as she does cattle health. “We are finding our place and our niche where the cattle are better off, getting better nutrients from the landscape but the landscape is benefiting because of the cattle,” she said. “It’s a state of symbiosis to where the cattle benefit from the land and the land benefit from the cattle.” (AP Photo/David Goldman)

The sun sets as Meredith Ellis looks at cattle with her son, GC, 6, on their ranch in Rosston, Texas, Thursday, April 20, 2023. Ellis has seen how global warming is altering her land. She calls it an “existential crisis,” the backdrop to the endless to-do list that comes with regenerative ranching. After a long day, she likes to take a moment to remember why she does it. Standing with her 6-year-old son on a cool evening, they watch over a gate as dozens of cows graze amid the lush grass and a setting sun. “I could stand here all evening,” she says. “I just love them.” (AP Photo/David Goldman)
