VetosEurope, an agritech company focused on sustainable cattle farming, has been honored with four prestigious awards from World Business Outlook magazine, highlighting its role in bridging the gap between agricultural productivity and climate responsibility. The accolades, announced on August 5, 2026, include 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 recognition comes as global agriculture faces increasing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint while maintaining profitability. VetosEurope, headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland, has positioned itself as a pioneer in natural feed supplements designed to cut methane emissions and enhance livestock productivity. Methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide, is a significant byproduct of ruminant digestion, making it a critical target for climate action.
At the heart of VetosEurope’s portfolio is Anavrin, a methane-inhibiting feed supplement. Independent trials conducted by Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands have confirmed its efficacy. Uruguayan studies showed methane emissions reductions of up to 17.5%, while Wageningen’s controlled chamber trials reported a 13% reduction in methane production and a 16.3% decrease in methane intensity. Notably, these reductions were achieved without compromising milk yield, and in some cases, productivity increased—with meat yield rising by 70 grams per day and milk output by 1.5 liters per day.
The UK-based Carbon Trust has formally validated Anavrin’s effectiveness, adding international credibility to the product. This dual benefit of climate impact and productivity gains is what sets VetosEurope apart in the agritech sector, according to the company. Carloalberto Ghizzoni, Partner & CEO of VetosEurope, stated, “Winning these four prestigious accolades from World Business Outlook is a profound milestone that validates VetosEurope’s commitment to reshaping global agriculture.” He emphasized that the awards reflect the team’s dedication to technologies that heal the planet and prove that science-backed methodologies can drive ecological resilience.
Shankar Shivaprasad, Managing Director of World Business Outlook, praised VetosEurope for its ability to bridge rigorous scientific research and scalable 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.
Beyond product innovation, VetosEurope is developing a methane reduction project in Italy, targeting enteric methanogenesis in ruminants. The project, structured under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), aims to involve beef and dairy farmers in adopting sustainable feeding practices while potentially earning financial returns from verified emission reductions. Similar projects are being developed in Uruguay and Spain, leveraging VetosEurope’s expertise in livestock trading and animal nutrition.
The company’s business model rests 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, minimizing adoption barriers. 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, while for farmers, it offers a way to future-proof operations against tightening environmental regulations. As methane reduction becomes a regulatory and market priority, products like Anavrin could become mainstream, and VetosEurope is well-positioned to benefit from the global push toward climate-smart agriculture. The company’s scientific credibility and niche expertise provide a strong foundation for growth, as evidenced by its 11-year track record and the use of its products by approximately 2.5 million cattle worldwide, backed by more than 20 scientific research projects.
VetosEurope’s founder, with deep roots in the global live-cattle trade, envisioned solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally responsible. Partnering with universities worldwide, the company developed feed additives that mirror natural compounds, embodying its philosophy: “Inspired by nature, to help nature.” This approach has not only earned industry recognition but also positions VetosEurope as a key player in the transition to sustainable agriculture.
