Cut the Gas: Reducing Agri-Methane for our Health, Environment and Climate

Brussels, 9 April 2025

The Methane Matters Coalition (MMC) is excited to announce our upcoming event on the reduction of methane emissions from agriculture.

We will be hosting stakeholders from across the sector to discuss the topic and secure a shared vision of a healthy and sustainable agriculture and food system for all. This is within the context of the current NECD review and the need to bring together policy makers and the sector on reducing methane emissions. With speakers from the Sector, Commission, and Academia we expect an engaging discussion.

Please join us also for cocktails and the opportunity to meet our speakers and the team at MMC!
