Low Carbon Beef
Certification
You Can
Count On
Unlike many assessments on the market that evaluate only one source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the Low Carbon Beef program evaluates the net total GHG emissions for the entire life cycle of beef cattle. Certified cattle meet unparalleled transparency and traceability criteria to fulfill both present and future supply chain demands.
LCB USDA PVP
Based on a proprietary, comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA), the first-of-its-kind Process Verified Program (PVP) allows for United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) verification that beef cattle, and ultimately their end products, were produced with reduced emissions.
LCB Enrolled
Enhance the profit potential of young stock by pre-identifying them as strong candidates for the USDA PVP. Measuring sustainable herd management practices during this segment of the beef production life cycle adds value to cattle for both sellers and buyers on the open market.
USDA Climate-Smart Grant
Low Carbon Technologies (LCT) and industry leaders are working with U.S. cattle producers on an ambitious five-year PVP proof of concept project. Together the consortium will demonstrate that end-to-end climate-smart beef production is possible, both economically and without sacrificing product quality.
