If all the cows in the world made up their own country, that nation would rank 3rd in the world in greenhouse gas emissions. Cattle emit methane gas, which is 25x more harmful to the environment than CO2 alone.
LOCOL is an innovative climate-smart cattle feed supplement designed specifically for tropical regions. By upcycling cocoa waste into a high-impact feed additive, LOCOL tackles the pressing environmental challenge of cattle methane emissions. The supplement not only reduces greenhouse gas output but also enhances livestock productivity, demonstrating that sustainable agricultural solutions can deliver both ecological and economic benefits.
Beyond its environmental impact, LOCOL creates value for farmers and local communities.The initiative strengthens rural livelihoods and increases income opportunities while promoting a more sustainable meat industry. By reducing emissions and increasing farmer income, LOCOL demonstrates a practical, locally-driven approach to sustainable livestock production in tropical regions.
