Greener Grazing is the world’s leading effort to close the lifecycle of Asparagopsis taxiformis and develop the tools to initiate global ocean-based cultivation. Our work has received support from major philanthropic organizations.
Greener Grazing has the potential to deliver global-scale transformational benefits in reducing the feed footprint and climate impacts of the world's two billion cattle and other ruminant animals.
Ground-breaking research at CSIRO and James Cook University has revealed that cows and sheep fed small amounts of a red seaweed called Asparagopsis taxiformis produce virtually no methane during digestion.
The findings have been replicated and published in leading scientific journals. It’s time to apply this discovery to affect real-world change.
Livestock production is a major contributor to global warming, with a climate impact greater than all of world's cars, planes and ships combined. Methane produced as a result of animals’ digestion is the primary source of greenhouse gas emissions from this sector.
Convincing the world to go vegetarian is unrealistic. But cattle and sheep diets can be altered—with game-changing effects for the planet. The secret ingredient? Seaweed.
Greener Grazing is an ambitious, one-of-a-kind project to solve livestock methane emissions by introducing seaweed into ruminant diets.

Building A Circular Blue Economy
Large-scale Asparagopsis taxiformis seaweed farming could help combat ocean acidification, employ millions of people, and revitalize coastal communities through regenerative aquaculture.
