We were honored to co-organize and co-host a day-long, 3-part symposium at the 2023 Society for Range Management Annual Meeting in Boise, ID titled, “Beyond Meat – Livestock, soil carbon and ecosystem service markets in the U.S. West: generating complementary funding for rangeland and rural community stewardship?” We explored a range of examples and models for natural resource management, conservation, and financing that value landscape functionality for agriculture commodity productions and a full suite of ecosystem services derived from rangelands. The symposium included speakers from ranchers, non-profit and other non-governmental organizations, for-profit consulting firms, state agencies, and academic researchers. It was a wild success with many laughs, thought-provoking questions, controversial ideas, and a variety of perspectives.
