A description of the experience
ISABELLA TREE – WILDING
It seems that chemically fertilised ryegrass monocultures may contribute to the production of methane in a ruminants’ digestion process – one of the most harmful greenhouse gases behind climate change.
Methane emissions ARE LOWER IN BIODIVERSE PASTURE [meadow] systems largely because of fumaric acid – a chemical that scientists at the Rowett Institute in Aberdeen identified as leading to faster growth and reducing emissions of methane by 70% when added to the diet of lambs.
Fumaric acid OCCURS WIDELY IN MANY PLANTS AND HERBS OF THE FIELD AND HEDGEROW, including angelica, common fumitory [Fumaria officinalis], shepherd’s purse and bird’s foot trefoil.
[Lotus corniculatus is a common flowering plant in the pea family Fabaceae, native to grasslands in temperate Eurasia and North Africa. Common names include common bird's-foot trefoil, eggs and bacon, birdsfoot deervetch, and just bird's-foot trefoil.]
