New Angus initiative to incentivise farmers to reduce emissions by up to 9% per kilo of beef
Catherine Smyth of Certified Irish Angus said that using the best genetics available can increase the sustainability of Angus cross animals at each stage of the production cycle.
A new programme to reward breeders with a bonus scheme aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 9% per kilo of beef has been launched by Certified Irish Angus.
The initiative, which is said to be the first of its kind for any breed in Ireland, will enhance the genetics of Angus cross cattle in a bid to reduce carbon emissions and provide a cross-sectoral solution to benefit pedigree breeders, dairy farmers, and beef producers.
