Video: The unexpected way scientists are tackling livestock methane emission

In Ethiopia's Ghibe valley, ILRI-led Tsetse Fly control methods have allowed cattle to flourish in an area previously almost uninhabitable for them. This has encouragd more farming in the area, relieving to a degree population and soil erosion pressures in higher, Tsetse free, elevations. The ILRI control herd waiting for monthly parasitology tests.

This video by SciDev.Net outlines the work of Professor Jamie Newbold of Scotland’s Rural College and Bayissa Hatew of the International Livestock Research Institute on livestock and methane emissions and why it changes everything about how we think about climate change in Africa.
