World Without Cows Ireland: The Pasture Paradox

Ireland is one of the most efficient pasture-based dairy producers in the world. But when 140+ countries demand dairy from one country, what impact does that have locally? The Pasture Paradox, a companion mini-doc produced by the filmmakers of World Without Cows, goes inside Ireland's pasture-based dairy system to examine how farmers are managing productivity, environmental pressure and the future of sustainable dairy farming. From low-emission slurry spreading to pasture management practices, it's an on-the-ground look at how one of the world's most recognized sustainable food systems is adapting in real time. Produced by award-winning journalists Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth, this companion film is part of the World Without Cows documentary series - a global investigation into the role of cattle in food systems, climate, nutrition, and culture.
