Imagine you're Larry the cow and you're uncontrollably burping methane into the atmosphere each day. It's not your fault, its all the good bacteria in your microbiome just doing their thing. But what if eating just 50g of a little red seaweed could change all that?
This week Heidi and Bella speak with Dr Javed Khan, the Aquaculture Manager for CH4 in New Zealand to learn all about Asparagopsis aramata, the little red seaweed making a big difference. CH4's goal is for agriculture to have zero methane emissions.
You'll learn:
- What is Asparagopsis?
- How can it stop the production of methane in ruminant animals? What is a ruminant animal?
- More fun facts about sea cucumbers (Bella tries to talk about them every chance she gets)
Thanks so much for joining us Javed, we can't wait to dive with you in NZ soon!
