Marfrig, the world's second-largest beef producer, has committed to becoming the first major beef company to disclose third-party supplier (Scope 3) methane emissions and aims for a 33% reduction by 2035. This target represents an annual reduction of 196,920 tons of methane. The announcement was made during a Mighty Earth event at the Belém climate summit (COP30). Marfrig intends to achieve these reductions through feed additives and farming practices. Mighty Earth is using this as a catalyst to call for similar transparency and targets from other meat industry leaders, such as JBS, and is advocating for an increase in plant-based protein sales to complement regenerative agriculture.
