> There might be ways to reduce the emissions of cows in the future (different feeds, gut biome interventions, bioengineering), but right now these are science fiction.

I thought there's already research showing that seaweed in the cow's diet drastically reduces methane emissions.



Yes, just 2% of diet as seaweed essentially eliminates methane emissions. But there's no price on methane emissions for the farmer so no incentive to do so.
