The California Dairy Sustainability Summit at @ucdavis is underway. @GHGGuru speaking on a panel with @JohnTauzel, Senior Director of Global Agriculture Methane at @EnvDefenseFund. 🌍🐄
“Sustainable livestock, sustainable future” isn’t just a tagline at the CLEAR Center – it’s a commitment backed up by research and science.
Members of @TheHessLab & @GHGGuru's Lab at @ucdavisCAES are exploring how to curb methane emissions from the micro to the macro level. 🧪🐮
Alternative Manure Management Program by @CDFAnews is currently accepting grant applications until Monday, 8/28. Goal is to support management of manure in dry form.🐮
Great for CA #dairies that don't have the space or resources needed for digesters.📄👇

Denise Mullinax, Executive Director at @CDRFMedia shares several projects underway – one of which is led by @GHGGuru on #climate neutrality ⚖️ & another by @ErmiasKebreab on feed additives like grape 🍇 pomace & flaxseed that may help reduce enteric #methane.🐄
According to @GHGGuru, PhD, professor and air quality extension specialist at @ucdavis, advances in the dairy community to increase productivity with less cows has allowed a significant reduction in carbon footprint. https://t.co/gI9ONx3Tqk
