Feeding cows their natural food cuts methane

Cows belching methane worries worldwide environmental groups enough that, as developing nations’ beef-eating increases, some say cows could be as much a part of the global warming problem as cars.

Well, not if you feed cows more of what they naturally eat and less corn and soy.

U.S. organic dairy farms, largely under the impetus of French yogurt king Danone, are leading the way here; in France, it’s being used on its equivalent of CAFO-sized beef feedlots, too.
