Yeah I saw this today. I've been covering this topic in depth in my course (Ag Entrepreneurship). A couple things I'd note:
"Regenerative" is too loosely defined. This article does a great job of really digging in (I think The Counter is slowly becoming my favorite food news site, more than Civil Eats).
And then I worked through a big thought exercise with my students. To make a long story short, it's quite possible that along all sustainable lines -- economic, environmental, and social -- a locally-produced grass-fed burger is possibly less negatively impactful than a veggie burger grown across multiple locations, processed in one state, and then packaged and shipped to another state.

that's interesting. i always wonder when i'm on the grocery aisle if it's better to buy organic, non-GMO cheese that might be produced in Wisconsin, or a local non-organic cheese that's produced 80 miles away.
