In a significant recognition of its efforts to merge agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship, VetosEurope has been honored with four awards from World Business Outlook magazine. The accolades, 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.
VetosEurope, headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland, has carved a niche in the agritech sector by developing natural feed supplements that reduce methane emissions while enhancing cattle productivity. As global agriculture faces mounting pressure to balance profitability with sustainability, VetosEurope positions itself as a bridge between science, commerce, and climate responsibility.
Founded over a decade ago, VetosEurope's roots lie in the global live-cattle trade. The founder recognized that the livestock industry needed solutions that were both economically viable and environmentally responsible. By partnering with universities worldwide, the company developed feed additives that mirror natural compounds, allowing farmers to improve yields without compromising ecological balance. This vision is encapsulated in the company's philosophy: "Inspired by nature, to help nature."
At the heart of VetosEurope's portfolio is Anavrin, a methane-inhibiting feed supplement. Methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times more potent than CO₂, is a major byproduct of ruminant digestion. Tackling this challenge is critical to meeting global climate targets. Independent trials conducted by Universidad de la República in Montevideo (Uruguay) and Wageningen University and Research have confirmed Anavrin's efficacy. Uruguay's studies showed methane 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. These trials also verified that the additive maintains milk yield and improves sustainability.
The UK-based Carbon Trust has formally validated Anavrin's effectiveness, lending international credibility to the product. Beyond emissions reduction, 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 plus productivity—is VetosEurope's competitive edge.
"Winning these four prestigious accolades from World Business Outlook is a profound milestone that validates VetosEurope's commitment to reshaping global agriculture," said Carloalberto Ghizzoni, Partner & CEO of VetosEurope. "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. Furthermore, the R&D Excellence and Sustainable Livestock Farming honours prove that science-backed, data-driven methodology can successfully drive ecological resilience. We share these awards with our dedicated scientific teams and partners who continue to push the boundaries of what sustainable farming can achieve."
Shankar Shivaprasad, Managing Director of World Business Outlook, commented, "We are thrilled to congratulate VetosEurope on this historic, multi-category victory. 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. They won these four specific awards because their solutions seamlessly address critical modern agricultural pain points—reducing livestock emissions, enhancing soil health, and pioneering AgriTech frameworks that actively combat climate change."
In Italy, VetosEurope's methane reduction project aims to significantly reduce emissions from cattle farming by targeting the inhibition of enteric methanogenesis. The project will be certified under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and structured as a grouped project. The company is involving beef and dairy cattle farmers, offering them the opportunity to adopt innovative feeding practices, contribute to climate change mitigation, and potentially receive financial returns linked to verified emission reductions. The project is being developed in Uruguay, Italy, and Spain.
VetosEurope operates with a lean team but extends its influence globally through partnerships and distribution networks. Its model is built on scientific credibility, global distribution, and a farmer-centric approach. The company's work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those addressing 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. The scientific credibility and niche expertise provide a strong foundation for the growth of this agritech firm.
