Hot potato: Force-multiplying technological innovation for food and agricultural decarbonization

Despite being a widely recognized problem, there is little U.S. public sector support for development of technologies that can directly or indirectly mitigate agricultural emissions, particularly at the production step of the supply chain. Increasing government funding in research and development (R\&D) of food and agriculture innovations, such as rumen methane mitigation and alternative protein production could spur much needed innovation in mitigation of agricultural emissions and enable commercial adoption of these technologies.
