[00:00.00]There's no question beef is Big.
[00:02.95]Beef it's what's for dinner.
[00:04.79]The world produces an estimated 
[00:06.53]160 billion pounds of it each year, 
[00:09.10]but research shows the world's 1 
[00:11.15]and a half billion cattle have an 
[00:12.78]outsized impact on the climate.
[00:14.56]They use up a ton of water, and their 
[00:16.96]manure can pollute waterways, 
[00:18.23]but one impact is easier to hear than see.
[00:21.69]That's a cow burping out methane, 
[00:24.18]a greenhouse gas that builds up in a 
[00:25.96]cow's four stomachs as it digests food.
[00:28.60]Globally cattle emit more than 
[00:30.56]231 billion pounds of methane 
[00:32.65]into the atmosphere every year.
[00:34.29]Tagging them as the biggest agricultural 
[00:36.90]source of greenhouse gases worldwide.
[00:38.96]One solution to this turf problem 
[00:41.56]could come from the surf.
[00:43.45]The seaweed is somewhat of the 
[00:45.90]the Holy Grail of you know climate change 
[00:47.31]in terms of solutions from the ocean.
[00:49.27]Dr. Jen Smith is researching how this species 
[00:52.92]of seaweed called Asparagopsis Taxiformis, 
[00:56.18]can stop all that burping.
[00:57.92]Once it is fed to the livestock, it simply 
[01:00.65]prevents methane from ever being formed, 
[01:02.86]and therefore the cows don't burp 
[01:05.52]that methane out of their mouth.
[01:07.10]One study found that adding just a tiny 
[01:09.14]amount of this red seaweed to a cow's diet, 
[01:11.43]reduced its methane emissions 
[01:13.20]between 40 and 98%.
[01:15.41]Now Dr Smith is partnering with an 
[01:17.50]Australian company to scale up production.
[01:19.70]The goal is not tally produce it, you know 
[01:22.58]how to do that but do it more efficiently.
[01:24.87]Steve Meller's company CH4 Global makes 
[01:27.49]a red seaweed based feed additive 
[01:29.81]called methane Tamer. It's already being 
[01:32.14]fed to cattle in Australia with plans 
[01:33.88]to grow it worldwide.
[01:35.44]The goal is to perfect the process of growing 
[01:37.53]asparagopsis in outdoor grow ponds, that can 
[01:40.60]be built anywhere with access to ocean water.
[01:42.33]We're giving people the choice to say, 
[01:44.47]"Do I eat that plant-based approach?" or 
[01:47.30]"Do I eat that meat-based approach?" 
[01:49.00]That is now dramatically lowered 
[01:50.77]its carbon footprint.
[01:52.90]Meller expects to see low methane be in US 
[01:54.48]supermarkets by the beginning of next year.
[01:56.80]But he has some big hurdles to clear, 
[01:59.17]like getting the FDA and Congress to agree 
[02:01.56]on how to regulate the seaweed additive.
[02:03.86]Something CH4 is working with lawmakers 
[02:06.40]to change, and the whole idea 
[02:07.90]has some experts skeptical.
[02:09.65]I don't want to say it would do nothing, 
[02:11.35]but just wouldn't do enough.
[02:12.84]Jan Dutkiewicz points to recent studies that

[02:17.88]and says that the only way 
[02:19.11]to significantly reduce methane emissions 
[02:21.13]is to grow and eat fewer cows.
[02:23.90]I think if we're talking about making 
[02:25.78]large scale changes in the food system, 
[02:27.55]we really need to think about the what

给牛喂食红海藻如何助力应对气候变化

How feeding cows red seaweed can help combat climate change

Feeding cows red seaweed, particularly Asparagopsis, can reduce their methane emissions and significantly lower the environmental impact of livestock farming. This solution could help combat climate change by decreasing one of the largest sources of agricultural greenhouse gases.
给奶牛喂食红海藻，尤其是海门冬属海藻，能够减少它们的甲烷排放量，并显著降低畜牧业对环境的影响。这一解决方案有助于应对气候变化，因为它能减少农业温室气体排放的最大来源之一。
