VetosEurope, an agritech company based in Lugano, Switzerland, has been awarded four prestigious accolades by World Business Outlook magazine, recognizing its leadership in sustainable agriculture and cattle farming. The awards, 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.
At the core of VetosEurope's success is Anavrin, a natural feed supplement designed to reduce methane emissions from cattle while enhancing productivity. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, 28 times more impactful than CO₂, and a major byproduct of ruminant digestion. Reducing methane emissions is critical for meeting global climate targets, and Anavrin offers a practical solution for farmers.
Independent trials conducted by Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands have validated Anavrin's effectiveness. The Uruguayan studies demonstrated methane emission 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. These trials also confirmed that Anavrin maintains milk yield while improving sustainability. The UK-based Carbon Trust has formally validated Anavrin's effectiveness, adding international credibility.
Beyond environmental benefits, Anavrin boosts cattle performance, increasing meat yield by 70 grams per day and milk output by 1.5 liters per day. This dual benefit—climate impact and productivity—gives VetosEurope a competitive edge in the agritech market.
Carloalberto Ghizzoni, Partner & CEO of VetosEurope, expressed gratitude for the awards, stating, "Winning these four prestigious accolades from World Business Outlook is a profound milestone that validates VetosEurope's commitment to reshaping global agriculture. Securing the Best AgriTech & Climate Impact Innovation alongside the Most Sustainable Agriculture Solution awards highlights our team's relentless pursuit of technologies that heal the planet."
Shankar Shivaprasad, Managing Director of World Business Outlook, commented, "VetosEurope stood out during our rigorous evaluation process as a rare pioneer capable of bridging the gap between rigorous scientific research and scalable, practical climate impact. Their forward-thinking leadership serves as an industry blueprint for the future of sustainable food production."
VetosEurope is also developing a methane reduction project in Italy, which will be certified under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). This grouped project aims to involve beef and dairy cattle farmers in adopting innovative feeding practices, contributing to climate change mitigation, and potentially receiving financial returns linked to verified emission reductions. The project is currently being developed for enteric fermentation emissions reduction in Uruguay, Italy, and Spain.
The company operates with a lean team but has a global influence through partnerships and distribution networks across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Its model is built on scientific credibility, global distribution, and a farmer-centric approach, ensuring products integrate seamlessly into existing feed systems.
VetosEurope's work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly 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 operations against tightening environmental regulations. As methane reduction becomes a regulatory and market priority, VetosEurope is well-positioned to benefit from the global push toward climate-smart agriculture.
Founded 11 years ago, VetosEurope combines expertise in live cattle trade with scientific research on natural feed supplements. Its products have been used by approximately 2.5 million cattle worldwide, backed by more than 20 scientific research projects. The company's guiding philosophy, "Inspired by nature, to help nature," reflects its commitment to sustainable farming solutions.
