The world isn’t slowing down when it comes to meat consumption, meaning emissions from the meat industry are only rising.

The seaweed feed could put a major dent in the emissions from the agricultural sector, but first the scientists must figure out how to sustainably harvest enough of seaweed to feed millions of cows.
