Methane and Mitigation: What the future holds
This methane factsheet created by Pasture for Life’s research team, emphasises a crucial point: while ruminants do produce methane, the most effective way to manage this is by restoring balance in the natural carbon cycle. This ensures that as much carbon is sequestered from the atmosphere as is produced in the form of methane.
By enhancing biodiversity and maintaining appropriate stocking rates and densities, it is possible for farms to become carbon sinks, sequestering more carbon than they emit. This is very likely the case for many Pasture for Life farms. However, accurately measuring methane production at pasture remains a challenge that requires further research.
