Efforts to reduce methane emissions are urgently needed if we are to meet global climate change goals. Could innovation, informed by study findings, help move the needle? We look at the latest research promising emission reductions from agri-food production.

Adding a type of methane-inhibiting red algae directly to cow feces cut down methane emission from the poop by about 44 percent, researchers report.

Approximately a third of all anthropogenic methane is emitted by ruminant livestock. These animals get nutrients through fermenting food in four-chambered stomachs found in cows, sheep, and goats.

Researchers have examined if adding the tropical alga <i>Asparagopsis taxiformis</i>, also known as red sea plume, to cow feces impacts greenhouse gas emissions from the manure of dairy cows.

Move over, cow burps. A team of scientists has shifted gears from the front to the back end of these methane-production powerhouses, using algae to curb gas emanating from their poop. It's a crap gig, but nature's best methane inhibitor is on the job.

Since October, Asian Resources Inc., or ARI, says it has placed 15 clients in the program with 10 people completing it.
