Emission reduction in agricultural and livestock sector

Increasing the average annual income of a women dairy farmer through Carbon Credits

Improved animal health and productivity

India is home to 300 million cattle, and 85 million smallholder dairy farmers. India has the largest number of cattle and is the largest milk producer where 70% of dairy farmers are women.

Enteric methane production from the digestive systems of livestock is a major source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. At Zero Earth we are solving inefficiencies in the dairy sector by increasing milk production through a series of interventions that reduce GHG emissions from livestock. Milk production is inefficient in India, which means that dairy industry produces more emissions than they should. Thus it is a  challenge to change livestock from being a climate problem to a climate solution.

Zero Earth working with our research partners across the world has formulated a patent pending feed blend consisting of natural plant extracts made using naturally occurring compounds with anti-methanogenic properties to reduce enteric emissions, increasing productivity  and improving animal health in livestock.
