Cows are tied to some of the biggest questions facing humanity: how we feed a growing population, protect the planet, and provide adequate nutrition in communities around the world. Against a backdrop of climate change, food insecurity, and rising protein demand, World Without Cows challenges what we think we know about cows, climate, health, and the future of our planet. Through a global journey spanning 22 countries and five continents, the film explores the complex relationship between food, sustainability, biodiversity, and the people whose lives hang in the balance.

Award-winning journalists Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth spent five years filming in more than 40 locations, in conversation with farmers, ranchers, scientists and environmental experts. What they found was far from simple: when it comes to cows, it's not black and white.

"The journey showed us that there is no single simple solution to the world's greatest challenges," said filmmaker Michelle Michael. "I don't think the world wants simple answers. It wants a better understanding of how our global food systems work, and that need has never been more urgent than it is right now."

"Our hope is that World Without Cows creates a new baseline for how people engage in hard conversations," said filmmaker Brandon Whitworth. "The film wasn't made to be an echo chamber. It was made to bring people together to ask difficult questions about complex issues and be open to different perspectives."

"Cows have become a symbol in the climate conversation, but the reality is far more complex. By exploring this issue from many angles and in such diverse geographies, the filmmakers give us a much more insightful and hopeful outlook than we might have expected," said executive producer Mark Lyons.
