Methane is an immensely challenging problem for the Irish dairy and beef sectors, but science is providing the means – mainly through new feed additives and breeding techniques – to reduce associated emissions. When ruminant animals like cattle and sheep digest food, they produce methane, a greenhouse gas 86 times more powerful than carbon dioxide. This fact is an existential threat to the dairy and cattle industries, but research breakthroughs suggest they can each pivot to a sustainable future.

Early risers on Friday will be treated to the spectacle of the moon turning blood red as it drops towards the horizon. The celestial display is due to a total lunar eclipse, an astronomical event that last occurred back in November 2022.
