VetosEurope, an agritech company based in Lugano, Switzerland, has been awarded four prestigious accolades by World Business Outlook magazine, underscoring its leadership in sustainable agriculture and climate-smart innovations. The awards—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—recognize VetosEurope's pioneering work in developing natural feed supplements that reduce methane emissions while enhancing livestock productivity.
At a time when agriculture faces mounting pressure to balance profitability with environmental responsibility, VetosEurope positions itself as a bridge between science, commerce, and climate action. The company's flagship product, Anavrin, is a methane-inhibiting feed additive that has been validated by independent research and certification bodies. Methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide, is a major byproduct of ruminant digestion, and reducing it is critical to meeting global climate targets.
Scientific trials conducted by Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands have confirmed Anavrin's efficacy. The Uruguayan studies demonstrated methane emission 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. Notably, these reductions were achieved without compromising milk yield, and the additive also improved productivity, increasing meat yield 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.
VetosEurope's approach is rooted in a decade-long history in the live cattle trade, with the founder's insight that livestock solutions must be both economically viable and ecologically sound. The company collaborates with universities worldwide to develop feed additives that mirror natural compounds, embodying its philosophy: "Inspired by nature, to help nature." This scientific rigor and practical focus have earned VetosEurope a competitive edge in the agritech market.
The company is now implementing methane reduction projects in Italy, Uruguay, and Spain, targeting enteric fermentation emissions. These projects are structured to be certified under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), allowing farmers who adopt Anavrin to contribute to climate mitigation and potentially receive financial returns from verified emission reductions. VetosEurope's model rests on three pillars: scientific credibility, global distribution, and a farmer-centric approach that integrates seamlessly into existing feed systems, minimizing adoption barriers.
Carloalberto Ghizzoni, Partner & CEO of VetosEurope, expressed gratitude for the recognition, stating that the awards validate the company's commitment to reshaping global agriculture. Shankar Shivaprasad, Managing Director of World Business Outlook, praised VetosEurope as a "rare pioneer" capable of bridging rigorous research with scalable climate impact, serving as an industry blueprint for sustainable food production.
VetosEurope's work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those focused on climate action and responsible consumption. As methane reduction becomes a regulatory and market priority, products like Anavrin could become mainstream, offering policymakers a tangible solution to meet emission targets and providing farmers a way to future-proof their operations against tightening environmental regulations. With over 2.5 million cattle using its products across Europe, Latin America, and Asia, and more than 20 scientific research projects backing its claims, VetosEurope is well-positioned to lead the global push toward climate-smart agriculture.
