The University of Galway is to lead a research consortium to pioneer greenhouse gas reduction solutions for agriculture.

The research-based project, Methane Abatement in Grazing Systems , focuses on evaluating solutions for feed, breeding and manure management.

Farming research body Teagasc, the Northern Ireland-based Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute and the Irish Cattle Breeding Federation will work with scientists at the university to expand testing and evaluate each of the measures. Dr Waters said the initiatives to"mitigate methane emissions related to cattle and sheep need to be rapidly developed and implemented on farm to comply with these targets".

She added that the project has brought together a"unique team of excellent scientists and industry partners" whose work can support the sector and"align with international initiatives such as the EU Methane Strategy and Global Methane Pledge".
