A new dairy #methane accounting framework has been published by the Dairy Methane Action Alliance to help companies account for and disclose emissions. We look forward to the publication of methane data in the coming year and action plans to reduce them. #COP29Baku


Outcomes from Methane & Non CO2 Summit at UN Climate Talks ⬇️ Greater ambition needed on agriculture - emissions from human activities have increased by 20% over the last 2 decades and agriculture remains the largest source. #methane #COP29Baku #COP29Azerbaijan


Interesting read from @MadeleineCuff on results of methane vaccine trial: a 13% reduction in emissions in 10 cattle over a period of 105 days. Plus a helpful assessment from Alexander Hristov from Penn State University: “This is a good approach but there is a long way to be sure…

💉Vaccine to cut methane from cow burps on the horizon... Details of ArkeaBio's first trial in @newscientist 🐄 Could be a big deal for cutting methane emissions from livestock, especially for free-ranging cattle that can go months w/out handling newscientist.com/article/244173…



Expert panel member, Mario Herrera spoke to @SavageSusannah @FT about the potential and limitations of animal feed additives for reducing methane emissions 👀 ft.com/content/b8f53d… via @ft


🐮 @Morrisons to trial seaweed supplements to reduce methane #emissions from cattle. Our briefing compiles the latest science on the potential and limitations of feed additives, including seaweed, for #methane mitigation: livestockmethane.com/briefings/ farminguk.com/news/morrisons…


➡️ @ProfMarkHowden, Director of the Institute for Climate, Energy & Disaster Solutions at Australian National University & Expert Panel member, calls for governments across the globe to take a close look at Denmark’s landmark agriculture #emissions tax theguardian.com/world/article/…


Can the world’s most expensive cow - bred to grow big quick - help reduce #methane emissions from #livestock? Given the very high feed intake needed to realise the genetic potential for fast growth, and the land-use implications for feed production, it seems very unlikely.…
