New research: our team looked at all the ways to reduce emissions from manure management in the US.
While biogas digesters receive the most funding, other options like solid-liquid separation, acidification, and aeration are more promising & cost-effective.
These emissions are also undercounted.

Promising Technologies Need a Bigger Push to Cut Manure Emissions in the US

RFK Jr. today: “We need to give off-ramps to farmers so that they can transition to biodynamic agriculture..."
To be biodynamic you must stuff cow horns with manure and crystal dust, bury them, dig up & stir with water for 1 hour in alternating vortexes, all to align the farm with "cosmic forces."
