InFaba has been covered in Farmers Guide. The piece carries direct quotes from project director John McArthur and from Professor John Newbold of SRUC, the consortium's lead scientific partner on the in vivo dairy work.
McArthur frames the work as a homegrown route to lowering dairy methane emissions through naturally occurring tannins in UK faba beans. Newbold describes SRUC's role as combining lab studies with on-farm trials to measure methane reduction and feed conversion efficiency.
The article puts the headline number at over 1.5 MtCO₂e of annual sector-wide savings, with a value approaching £400m. It cites the Defra figures that methane accounts for 58% of UK agricultural greenhouse gas emissions and 45% of dairy industry emissions.
All five consortium partners are named: McArthur BDC, PGRO, SRUC, Müller UK & Ireland and Farm Carbon Toolkit.
