We have a major opportunity to #CutMethane emissions by reducing cow burps. “For years, people just shook their heads and asked, ‘How do you want us to keep cows from burping?’ But now, there’s something that could really make a dent in these emissions,” explains Ben Thomas, EDF’s Senior Policy Director for Climate-Smart Agriculture.

To make drastic cuts in these planet-warming greenhouse gases, farmers are exploring new feed additives that could deliver much-needed cuts in methane from belching. Among the viable solutions are certain species of seaweed, like one variety of red tropical seaweed that could cut methane from belching as much as 80%.
