We urgently need cost-effective solutions to reduce cattle methane emissions while meeting the world’s growing demand for food.
Every year, livestock emissions contribute nearly 3 billion tons of CO2e – as much as all the world’s passenger vehicles combined. Methane is short-lived but highly potent, driving about one-third of global warming.
Reducing methane from cattle is the fastest way to slow global warming from agriculture.
37% of human-caused methane emissions come from livestock + agriculture
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, remains in the atmosphere for about a decade.
As global demand for meat and dairy increases, the growing livestock population amplifies emissions, posing challenges to sustainable agriculture
