More infoTo support farmers in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we’ve teamed up with Irish researchers to quantify methane emissions from dairy cows in pasture-based systems. This collaborative research programme delves into the complexities of methane emissions from grazing cows, aiming to develop more precise emission factors and mitigation strategies for our unique pasture-based systems.
