ET, you are correct in your assumption that Bion's (or others') advanced waste treatment technology cannot be used to treat the waste from free-range livestock. Effective nutrient and greenhouse gas control requires continuous collection and prompt treatment of the waste. Todays concentrated animal feeding operations - CAFOs - have a bad reputation, deservedly so. But while it may be counterintuitive, a CLEAN CAFO/ feedlot, equipped with effective waste treatment and resource recovery like Bion's third generation platform, where inputs (think feed additives to reduce enteric methane) can be controlled, and that shortens the production cycle (vs free-range) - is more environmentally friendly than a comparable number (or weight) of grass-fed animals scattered all across the landscape, with no way to mitigate runoff or emissions. That clean CAFO can also produce a truly and verifiably sustainable meat product at a price that is both affordable to the consumer and provides economic sustainability to the producer. Everybody wins.
