REGENERATIVE GRASS-FED FARMING SEQUESTERS CARBON, BUILDS SOIL HEALTH, AND PROVIDES A MARKETING OPPORTUNITY FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, BUT IS LIMITED BY PROCESSING CAPACITY. DECENTRALIZING MEAT PROCESSING STRENGTHENS RESILIENCE TO FOOD SHORTAGES AS OCCURRED WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

THE PROCESSING CONSTRAINT IS MULTI-FACETED, AND REQUIRES A SYSTEMIC SOLUTION ALONG THE VALUE CHAIN ADDRESSING SUPPLY AND DEMAND FACTORS AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL FOCUSED ON INVESTMENT TO INCREASE SMALL-VOLUME PROCESSING SERVING THE REGIONAL MARKET, TRAINING MEAT CUTTERS, CAPACITY BUILDING IN REGENERATIVE GRASS-FED FARMING, AND MARKETING PROGRAMS.
