Meat emits around a third of global emissions of methane, and action to cut this greenhouse gas has been identified by the UN and world leaders as the quickest route to slowing global heating. All these methods work to improve the soil, reduce air and water pollution, cut emissions, and boost biodiversity.

Animal agriculture is the largest emitter of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide when measured over a 20 year period. Scientists say that unless swift action is taken, methane from agriculture alone will take us beyond a 1.5C

Wastewater from overburdened urban septic systems and air pollution from burning fossil fuels contribute to nitrogen pollution, but often runoff of the synthetic fertilizers used in industrialized agriculture is the primary culprit. Seaweed's potential as a solution to this crisis is two-fold, scientists and environmentalists say.

The curbing of emissions to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the environment. It can either be used to reduce carbon emissions or promote ways in which to adapt, mitigate and build resilience to the effects of climate change. It is also referred to as the Paris Accords.

For example: Methane, the primary component of natural gas, is a potent greenhouse gas responsible for 25% of the warming we’re experiencing today. The largest source of industrial emissions is the oil and gas industry, which loses $30 billion worth of methane each year from operations. Technology improves efficiency. Looking ahead.
