We need collective action, yet despite being the largest methane emitter in Europe, the agri-food sector is notably lagging behind. As @talamhbeo.bsky.social shared today, "it's not just about the cow, but how we farm." We need a food systems approach to drive change and reduce methane now⌛📉
"Tackling methane emissions requires looking beyond industrially farmed animals. It's not just about the cow, but how we farm. 

A systems-based approach recognises the deep connections between biodiversity, farm resilience, and rural livelihoods." - Talamh Beo, A member-led organisation, of farmers, growers, land-based workers and citizens, organising for change in our food and agriculture systems

Studies show a massive return of fish and marine megafauna to sites with these underwater tidal turbines. How? Simple: overfishing is prevented. If they proved suitable for Irish locations, it would be *such* a win-win, generating clean electricity AND providing a haven for marine ecosystems.
