During National Beef Month, we consider: What’s at “steak” in a world without beef?

May is National Beef Month in the U.S., and we’re exploring one of the powerful questions posed in our World Without Cows documentary: What would we lose in a world without beef?

The global beef industry isn’t just about what’s on our plates — it supports millions of livelihoods, feeds billions of people, and is at the forefront of environmental innovations shaping the future of sustainable agriculture. By sharing your perspective, you become part of a worldwide dialogue about the true value of cattle — and beef production — in our societies, economies, and food systems.

We want you to be part of the conversation!

Fast facts

What happens to the global economy without beef?

With a market projected to top $700B by 2033, beef isn’t just food. It’s economic fuel. The beef industry supports millions of jobs and makes up 40% of global agriculture GDP.

The importance of a balanced diet

From iron and vitamin B-12 to amino acids like tyrosine, beef delivers nutrients that support cognitive development, especially in growing children and expecting mothers.
