With agriculture contributing about 15 per cent of Australia’s carbon emissions – the fourth-highest of any sector – it is not surprising that a whole industry has sprung up focused on innovative ways to reduce them as the country works hard to achieve net-zero by 2050.
Some of the most intensive reduction work is being done in grazing, where methane expelled from the digestive processes of livestock accounts for about 10 per cent of national emissions.
