Grassfed Exchange has always sought to be a forum to have open conversations about tough, forward looking issues related to regenerative grassland agriculture. One of those hot topics is known simply as “30 x 30” which is short for a federal goal of “conserving at least 30% of US lands and waters by 2030.” Although the GFE community likely already widely appreciates that working lands (and especially grazing lands) can also be wisely managed to achieve conservation goals, but there is understandable concern about what the programs might entail as either opportunities or threats to the ranching community.
