Beefing up approaches to cattle methane emissions

Cargill’s sustainability director for animal nutrition and health, Heather Tansey, talks with Innovation Forum’s Ian Welsh about how methane emissions from cattle can be mitigated and controlled. There are a number of techniques that can help, including rumen modifiers added to cattle diets that significantly reduce the methane – a highly potent greenhouse gas – that cattle belch while eating. Cargill is a sponsor of Innovation Forum’s Future of Food conference series. For more like this sign up here for the Innovation Forum weekly newsletter.
