A shared passion for agricultural productivity & climate impact

The Ruminant in the Room.

As the global population rapidly grows, so too does the demand for protein and therefore livestock products. While ruminant animals such as cattle and sheep are incredibly efficient at converting low-value feedstuff into nutritious food and fibres, these livestock systems contribute up to 15% of global greenhouse gasses. 

 

Australia’s agriculture industry has a strong track record of reducing emissions, but we believe there is an opportunity to reduce livestock methane further while unlocking value for our producers.

 

As the push to transition to carbon-neutral supply chains and food production intensifies worldwide, we are working with producers to offer a product that ensures resilience and growth alongside an opportunity to meet the environmental expectations of consumers and regulators.

More efficient food & fibre, without the emissions.
