How to reduce livestock emissions without reducing livestock - Paul Wood AO

In this episode, we sit down with Professor Paul Wood, board member at the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, to explore his innovative approach to reducing methane emissions from agriculture without reducing cattle numbers.

Paul is a strong advocate for leveraging technology to tackle environmental challenges while preserving traditional farming practices. From feed additives to genetic selection, he shares how targeted investments can significantly cut emissions while supporting farmers. With $200 million in backing from the Global Methane Hub—funded in part by Bezos Earth Fund—Paul explains why methane reduction should focus on practical, scalable solutions that work for the agricultural sector.

Tune in as Paul offers critical insights into why he’s skeptical about the viability of cultivated meat, seeing it as costly and less practical compared to solutions that directly impact current farming systems.
