Building beef & bison byproduct supply chains
A USDA-funded project of the American Sustainable Business Institute / Network and Other Half Processing
Regenerative grazing is on the rise. But for value to be carried through the supply chain, the whole animal must be utilized — from hides to bones to the organs within.
Growing GRASS is forging resilient supply chains that elevate the byproducts of regenerative cattle and bison. This benefits all of us: producers, processors, brands, consumers, and the planet.
