Global Innovation Needs Assessment: Food System Methane
In April 2023, ClimateWorks Foundation and the Methane Hub released a Global Innovation Needs Assessment for food system methane reduction. The report “quantifies the economic, social, and environmental benefits of low-methane innovation in food systems and identifies the levels of investment – from research and development to commercialization – needed to enable these benefits.” The report calls for significant increases in government funding for methane reduction efforts, focusing on livestock systems (which include alternative proteins), food loss/waste reduction, and rice production.
