The Beef Initiative Mission:

To save lives and heal by providing the purest form of animal protein available; to educate and to build community.

The Problem:

Today’s world is full of broken or dysfunctional systems. There has been a marked decline in and a disruption of:

• General public health and children’s health,
• Supply systems to bring nutrient-dense meals to the dinner table,
• Retirement savings and the value of the US dollar, and
• Locally-integrated, independent community services.

The Solution:

The Beef Initiative Regional Conferences will address solutions, answer questions, and educate attendees through Sound Money, Sound Health, and Sound Future.

• Sound Money: why we need “Sound Money,” how bitcoin compares to the US dollar as a store of value, and what bitcoin represents for families, communities, ranchers, and businesses related to the beef industry
• Sound Health: discussion of recent declines in health (acutely low rates of testosterone in young boys, endocrine disruptors, ability to find the right doctor); reconnecting well-being back to healthful eating, what that means and what is required (such as Regenerative Agriculture, food preparation, and shopping/resources)
• Sound Future: how to plan or adjust retirement saving in a volatile future, ideally reducing risk from a declining US dollar; and how to educate and develop young leaders for strong businesses, communities, and families

MISSION

To save lives and heal by providing the purest form of animal protein available; to educate, and to build community.

EDUCATION

Showcase solutions for healthier lives and healthier budgets - through local cooperation.

NETWORKING

One of our prime objectives is to connect you and your family directly to farmers, processors, shippers, chefs, and other like-minded families.

COMMUNITY

We believe it’s important to employ our talents and abilities to meet the needs of those less fortunate. TBI’s twofold approach focuses on collaborating with individuals and organizations to bring them pure animal protein as a nutritional source; and also increase their knowledge of how to use it for better health - and the health of their loved ones. We will help TBI members develop, produce, and share their unique stories and points of view with their customers and partners. We will help facilitate a range of communication efforts, including podcasts, video, key platform interviews, social media, webinars, and more.
