Environmental & Livestock Advantages
🌿 Urban Reforestation
Planting cactus cladodes along suburban perimeters anchors soil, limits wind erosion, and forms natural green wildfire barriers.
🌎 Carbon Sequestration
Using CAM photosynthesis, cactus traps atmospheric CO2 and stores it permanently as soil calcium carbonate.
💧 85-90% Water for Cattle
On-farm cactus orchards function as live emergency reservoirs during extreme dry seasons, drastically lowering feed costs.
