Daniel Carson, the founder of Miti, shares how a recent AgResearch study reveals that dairy-derived beef raised to 10-18 months has a carbon footprint up to 48% lower than New Zealand's mixed beef cattle average.
He explains how this innovation could pave the way for a unique meat category, optimising New Zealand's meat processing infrastructure and producing low-carbon leather for luxury fashion.
Carson's Mataora concept empowers farmers with efficient practices, such as automated calf feeding systems, to boost economic returns and address animal welfare.
