Highlighting sustainable livestock and carbon market solutions

Alltech is championing agriculture at the United Nations’ COP30 Climate Conference in Belém, Brazil, serving as a global advocate for the role of agriculture in climate solutions. The company’s mission is to bring agriculture into climate discussions and highlight its potential to feed a growing population while restoring the environment.

“With a presence in more than 140 countries, Alltech’s global perspective allows us to see the best of agricultural innovation in action,” said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech, a global animal nutrition and crop science leader.

“Every day, we witness remarkable innovation taking place around the world — new ideas and technologies that are improving agriculture and enhancing its impact on people, animals and the planet. Science and collaboration are driving solutions that strengthen economies, nourish communities and restore our natural resources. This is the true power of agriculture: its ability to shape the future.”

Alltech is presenting its powerful documentary World Without Cows alongside its new film World Without Cows Brazil: The Battle for Balance. These films illustrate how regenerative agriculture and pasture restoration can help Brazil expand food production while protecting forests.

The company’s work at COP30 builds on earlier global engagements. At Climate Week NYC, Alltech emphasized sustainable livestock and soil health. At the FAO’s Sustainable Livestock Transformation Conference in Rome, the organization’s documentary was featured to showcase how innovation is reshaping food systems.

Through its continued advocacy, Alltech is helping position agriculture as a key climate solution—proving that farmers and scientists together can create a future that is resilient, regenerative, and resource-positive.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
