We need collective action, yet despite being the largest methane emitter in Europe, the agri-food sector is notably lagging behind. As
@talamhbeo.bsky.social
shared today, "it's not just about the cow, but how we farm." We need a food systems approach to drive change and reduce methane now⌛📉

Studies show a massive return of fish and marine megafauna to sites with these underwater tidal turbines. How? Simple: overfishing is prevented. If they proved suitable for Irish locations, it would be *such* a win-win, generating clean electricity AND providing a haven for marine ecosystems.
