Emerging Climate-Smart Technologies as Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Strategies in Scottish Beef Systems - Policy Brief

Emerging climate-smart technologies will need to play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from beef production, however, their impact at farm level is not fully quantified. Modelling using real Scottish beef farm data demonstrated that three emerging climate-smart technologies: feed additives (including bolus), microbiome-driven breeding and GreenShed (a methane capturing cattle shed that utilises waste products to power the shed and grow indoor crops) reduced both whole farm and product emissions across all farms.
