Our
Challenge

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

We can’t meet our climate or food goals without tackling livestock methane—and our window of opportunity is closing.
