To reduce those emissions, scientists from CSIRO—the Australian government’s research agency—developed a seaweed-based feed supplement for cattle called Asparagopsis that recent [studies have shown](https://www.future-feed.com/science) can reduce emissions by up to 80 percent. FutureFeed, the company CSIRO created to commercialize Asparagopsis, is licensing the technology to seaweed growers [in Hawaii,](https://agfundernews.com/symbrosia-submits-key-data-to-fda-for-seaweed-based-feed-supplements-for-livestock-methane-reduction-plans-new-15-acre-site) [Australia, New Zealand](https://agfundernews.com/red-seaweed-was-billed-as-a-gamechanger-for-livestock-methane-reduction-so-when-will-it-deliver?utm%5Fsource=chatgpt.com), and Europe. It could be some time before Asparagopsis is commercially approved in the U.S.: A proposal to sell the supplement is undergoing [FDA review](https://agfundernews.com/symbrosia-submits-key-data-to-fda-for-seaweed-based-feed-supplements-for-livestock-methane-reduction-plans-new-15-acre-site).
