There was a recent article on the seaweed: [Australian red meat industry says it doesn’t need to meet its self-imposed net zero target](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/feb/08/australian-red-meat-industry-says-it-doesnt-need-to-meet-its-self-imposed-net-zero-target https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/feb/08/austr...) > This includes feeding cows seaweed based additives, but one of the longest commercial trials failed to meet hoped-for methane cuts and led to the animals eating less food. ... “The commercial viability of those [food additives] means they are not something likely to be widely adopted by the industry.” So yes, business as usual. Nothing has changed. > A 2022 CSIRO report commissioned by MLA found the industry emitted almost two-thirds the volume of greenhouse gases in 2020 compared with a 2005 baseline. But it said the reported reductions have been driven by a decrease in land clearing and an increase in forest regrowth, as recorded by Australia’s national carbon accounting system. An analysis by the University of Queensland said the NCAS may be grossly under-reporting land clearing rates.
