VetosEurope, an agritech company based in Lugano, Switzerland, has been awarded four prestigious accolades by World Business Outlook magazine, recognizing its contributions to sustainable agriculture and cattle farming. The company received the Best AgriTech Innovation & Climate Impact Innovation Award Europe 2026, Most Sustainable Agriculture Solution of the Year Europe 2026, Best Scientific Research & Development Excellence Award Europe 2026, and Outstanding Sustainable Livestock Farming Solution Europe 2026.
The awards highlight VetosEurope's innovative approach to reducing methane emissions from cattle while enhancing productivity. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, 28 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide, and is a major byproduct of ruminant digestion. By targeting this challenge, VetosEurope aims to help the agriculture industry meet global climate targets while maintaining economic viability.
At the heart of VetosEurope's portfolio is Anavrin, a methane-inhibiting feed supplement. Independent trials conducted by the Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands have confirmed its effectiveness. The Uruguay studies showed methane reductions of up to 17.5%, while Wageningen's controlled chamber trials reported a 13% cut in methane production and a 16.3% decrease in methane intensity. These trials also verified that Anavrin maintains milk yield while improving sustainability.
The UK-based Carbon Trust has formally validated Anavrin's effectiveness, adding international credibility to the product. Beyond emissions reduction, Anavrin boosts cattle performance, increasing meat yield by 70 grams per day and milk output by 1.5 liters per day. This dual benefit of climate impact and productivity forms the company's competitive edge.
Carloalberto Ghizzoni, Partner & CEO of VetosEurope, expressed pride in the recognition, stating that the awards validate the company's commitment to reshaping global agriculture. He emphasized that the R&D Excellence and Sustainable Livestock Farming honors demonstrate that science-backed, data-driven methods can drive ecological resilience.
Shankar Shivaprasad, Managing Director of World Business Outlook, praised VetosEurope for bridging rigorous scientific research with scalable, practical climate impact. He noted that the company's solutions address critical agricultural pain points, including reducing livestock emissions and enhancing soil health, and serve as an industry blueprint for sustainable food production.
VetosEurope is currently developing a methane reduction project in Italy, targeting enteric methanogenesis in ruminants. The project will be certified under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and structured as a grouped project, with plans to involve beef and dairy farmers. Farmers who adopt innovative feeding practices can contribute to climate change mitigation and potentially receive financial returns linked to verified emission reductions. The project is being developed for countries including Uruguay, Italy, and Spain.
The company's model is built on three pillars: scientific credibility, global distribution, and a farmer-centric approach. Its supplements are marketed across Europe, Latin America, and Asia, and are designed to integrate seamlessly into existing feed systems. VetosEurope's work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those addressing climate action and responsible consumption.
For policymakers, Anavrin represents a tangible solution to meet emission reduction targets. For farmers, it offers a way to future-proof their operations against tightening environmental regulations. As methane reduction becomes a regulatory and market priority, products like Anavrin could become mainstream, positioning VetosEurope to benefit from the global push toward climate-smart agriculture.
