Myth # 1: Feedlots contribute to food waste.
Feedlots are a key organic waste diversion pathway, repurposing byproducts and food residuals that would otherwise be landfilled, advancing SB 1383 goals. 

Myth # 2: Feedlots are not aligned with California’s climate policies.
Feedlots support methane reduction goals by preventing organic waste decomposition in landfills and improving production efficiency.

Myth # 3: Feedlots operate without sufficient oversight.
California feedlots are subject to strict environmental regulations and continuous monitoring of air, water, and nutrient management systems.  

Myth # 4: Cattle compete with humans for food resources.
Feedlots primarily utilize non-human-edible byproducts, making them a critical component of a circular food system.
