Climate impact of grass-fed herds in pastures, that include white clover, are less than previous IPPC estimates, which are based on collated data not direct measurement and underestimate the reduction in microbial activity.
#BFA19 finalist: Breedr’s precision livestock app is underpinned by analysis from six years of real-world farm records. Breedr founder, Ian Wheal, discussed the results at the European Animal AgTech Innovation Summit this week.
It may come as a surprise but the findings of the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Land didn’t focus on cows
