Our feature-length documentary World Without Cows explores one seemingly simple question: “Are we better off in a world without cows?” In a companion mini documentary, World Without Cows Brazil: The Battle for Balance, we return to Brazil to explore its extraordinary potential to double food production without cutting a single tree.

Official Trailer
Brazil is the world’s top beef exporter. This makes it crucial to the global effort of producing enough protein for a growing population, but historically, it has caused land degradation and high greenhouse gas emissions.
However, thanks to advances in agriculture technology and management, many Brazilian beef producers are now producing much more beef on the same land … without cutting down a single tree. In the past two decades, Brazil’s cattle sector has reduced pasture area by 11%, to 160 million hectares, while boosting productivity by more than 70%, from 2.8 to nearly 5 arrobas per hectare each year.
World Without Cows Brazil: The Battle for Balance tells this inspiring story.
A mini-documentary and companion piece to the groundbreaking feature-length documentary World Without Cows, this film will be screened at the panel “Unraveling the Challenges and Achievements in Today’s Livestock Sector in Brazil.” The event will be hosted by Alltech and Embrapa, the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation.
We invite you to join us for the screening and a dynamic discussion afterward.
