It won't change much if only small groups of citizens starts taking individual action to mitigate their environment footprint. But I strongly believe that it is nonetheless a mandatory step towards global awareness.

It is not "the magical solution", but I don't see any solution that don't starts with individuals taking action to start trends.

Political action will start only when the people electing government starts caring. And that starts by individuals convincing the others.

Sorry - awareness? As in people will become more aware of something? Rather than it making an impact in and of itself?

If you mandate that all meat come from field fed, hay fed sources, with no fertilizer (hay is a great rotational crop), instead of corn or other crops, solved problem.

You know, like the rest of the world does it.

(That is, unless you plan to shoot and kill and exterminate all bison, deer, etc, that would take over any land we leave fallow...)

Who is that in this context?

I ask because I've met Europeans who were convinced that all of their beef was grass-fed, while I've personally seen cattle being grain-finished (and/or fed a variety of supplemental non-pasture-grass feeds like sugar beets) in places like Ireland and Germany. Marketing != reality.
