How farmers will be paid to capture carbon
EU farmers can look forward to carbon farming ideas like this milk from cows fed a product which reduces their methane emissions 38%; if the milk sells well, and the company can sell carbon credits on its back, farmers will get the feed supplement free.
Never waste a good crisis may be the motto of the promoters of a climate-friendly milk now marketed to UK consumers, from cows fed Mootral, one of the many products that cuts cattle greenhouse gas emissions.
The feed supplement, with extracts of garlic and citrus, has been proven to cut methane emissions as much as 38%, thus helping in the fight against the climate crisis.
