Indeed. I have seen a study that suggested free range cows in Australian grasslands were even less CO2 intensive per calorie than grains and also made use of land which wasn't farmable.

However such a thing can't really scale because of the large area required.

> Grasslands cover around 3.5 billion heactares globally, representing 26-40 percent of Earth's total terrestrial area.

I assume wiki meant these are natural grasslands in which case sounds pretty scalable.

Here is one source[1] this science is not new. The no dig farming movement takes this further because they don’t till the land the soil retains more co2. [1]https://www.soilassociation.org/media/4954/policy_soil_carbo...
