OSU to study a possible climate solution /environment-energy-and-transportation/2024-10-29/cutting-down-on-cow-burps-with-seaweed-osu-to-study-a-possible-climate-solution It can be hard to imagine cows eating seaweed. But that could be one of the solutions to reduce methane emissions from cattle farming.
