Ruminant animals (those with four compartments in their stomach) play a critical role in sustainable nutrition. They take fiber, cellulose and all of these human inedible byproducts, and turn them into high quality protein for people. This process of "upcycling" helps reduce green house gas emissions as well. Another example of how agriculture provides solutions!
