Sunday Pick: How a special seaweed is lowering methane emissions—one cow burp at a time | from Speed & Scale
Did you know that cows emit methane when they burp? Livestock account for over 12% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, but farmers and scientists have discovered a superfood that might be the key to lower emissions—and raise healthier cows.
