Agriculture is the largest source of anthropogenic methane emissions - and reducing methane emissions is the fastest way to affect the concentration of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere. https://lnkd.in/evNjUYeG

Don't ignore #Methaneemissions To fix the #climatecrisis, we need to tackle it from different angles. We are aware of our CO2 emission, so next is to get a handle on our methane emissions too, CAUSED by industrial farming of cows. Solutions: Signal the market, that industrial meat is not the way. Find out about Greenpeace campaign to Stop Big Meat and Dairy.

#Methane packs a punch, with 80 times the potency of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. By prioritizing this greenhouse gas, companies can implement solutions that not only mitigate warming but also improve the livelihoods of those at the heart of dairy and beef production.

Methane emissions from oil and gas production, as well as from livestock, have come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. Like carbon dioxide the main greenhouse gas that’s warming the world, methane acts like a blanket in the sky, trapping the sun’s heat. https://loom.ly/R5RZn4U

“🌱 Methane Reduction: A Challenge Worth Solving 🌍 Agriculture plays a vital role in our lives, but it’s also a significant source of methane emissions. 🐄💨 How can we strike the right balance between reducing emissions and protecting farmers’ livelihoods? Our latest article written by Omotoyosi Osikoya explores innovative solutions, policy insights, and practical strategies to make sustainability achievable for all. It’s time to take action for a healthier planet while ensuring a thriving agricultural sector. 📖 Click the link below to read more! #ClimateAction #SustainableFarming #MethaneReduction #FarmersFirst #SustainabilityMatters #GreenAgriculture #EcoFriendly #NetZero #RenewableFuture #EnvironmentalProtection #SustainableDevelopment #GlobalGoals #ClimateCrisis #InnovationInAgriculture #SaveOurPlanet” https://lnkd.in/d7ERdq_3

Farmers represent the greatest force of good in the fight against climate change. Not only can farmers utilize agrivoltaics to directly contribute to the clean energy transition, they can also use no tilling to directly sequestere carbon! Effectively, farmers can be the group that decreases future emissions while absorbing the old emissions...ALL WHILE GETTING FINANCIAL AND YIELD BENEFITS. I simply ask this...why are we not doing this at scale!? https://lnkd.in/eyxkbdJz

Methane has doubled since 1850 from The Washington Post. Being 30 times more potent than CO2, scientists cite the threat of escalating methane emissions. 🐂 It is yet another reason to consider reducing beef and dairy, and to select fully grass fed options. Not all beef farming is bad. Intensive, feedlot or grain fed operations come with higher emissions (and lower quality meat). But fully grass fed operations are less financially productive per land unit, so they are still boutique. If more consumers seek this beef out, it could help make this option more viable for producers. 🚮 Landfill methane is another key source. At the household level composting can reduce this. Organic food waste and paper result in more methane in landfills. Our home has cut our trash weight ~40% by composting and then burying at the base of our trees. The birdlife has increased around our house. We think it might be because our garden is a more productive, higher nutrient little ecosystem. 🏎️ Try to find lower emissions ways of travel. This could mean traveling less, or closer or finding cleaner ways to move. 💡Energy conservation is another way to reduce methane (if the power mix is still coal or diesel). The amount of appliances that draw power parasitically when they are not being used.

We specialize in the biorefining of halophytes (salt marsh plants), which are true "wonders of nature." These resilient plants thrive where others fail, demonstrating resistance to drought and climate change. They can sequester more CO2 than traditional crops and, with proper farming techniques, can create habitats for birds and marine life. The fresh parts of these plants make for delicious and nutritious vegetables, while the residual biomass is an ideal feedstock for biorefineries, supporting a sustainable shift to natural products and green chemicals. See below video for more information about these "wonders of nature", and how we turn them into highly benefitial bioactive molecules, green chemicals, and biofuels. https://lnkd.in/dW2hQGXk

♻️ Why should you compost?? 🗑️ Food waste is bad enough on it's own, but when it ends up in a landfill it becomes even worse. 🍎 Food scraps emit methane when they decompose under conditions lacking oxygen, like in landfills. Composting, on the other hand, doesn’t produce methane. 💨 Methane's warming effect is more than 80 times as powerful as the same amount of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. Landfills have found to be the 3rd largest contributor of methane, behind fossil fuels and agriculture (namely cows). 🌱 Compost away!

Due to the significant business risks imposed by climate change and nature loss, stakeholders are demanding greater transparency and accountability. #GuidehouseExperts Ravi Kantamaneni and Kelly Dong share how organizations can account for land-based greenhouse gas impacts and set targets that are relevant to their unique impact areas and business activities: https://lnkd.in/eA8vnikX
