description
WWF and Tesco are working in partnership to spearhead change within the food retail sector. A major delivery strand within the Partnership is sustainable agriculture; in particular, addressing the environmental impacts that the UK agricultural sector has on soil health, water quality, biodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions.
Methane reducing feed additives and technologies seem to hold a lot of promise and provide a significant opportunity to decarbonise agriculture. However, the delivery of such promise must be based on robust and transparent science in order to be trusted. Consequently, the WWF and Tesco Partnership wishes commission a consultancy to explore the levels of scientific rigour and openness in the growing methane reducing feed additive (and associated technologies) market, and to establish a set of criteria which should be considered 'best practice', which can be used to inform stakeholders interested in this sector.
