VetosEurope, an agritech company based in Lugano, Switzerland, has been honored with four prestigious awards from World Business Outlook magazine, recognizing its leadership in sustainable agriculture and climate impact innovation. The company received the 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.
These accolades underscore VetosEurope's pioneering work in developing natural feed supplements that reduce methane emissions from cattle while enhancing productivity. The company's flagship product, Anavrin, has been scientifically validated to cut methane emissions by 13-17%, depending on the study. Trials conducted by Universidad de la República in Uruguay and Wageningen University in the Netherlands confirmed these reductions, with Uruguay reporting up to 17.5% reduction and Wageningen finding a 13% cut in methane production and a 16.3% decrease in methane intensity. These studies, along with validation from the UK-based Carbon Trust, provide independent peer-reviewed evidence of Anavrin's efficacy.
Beyond environmental benefits, Anavrin also improves cattle performance, increasing meat yield by 70 grams per day and milk output by 1.5 liters per day. This dual benefit of climate impact and productivity is central to VetosEurope's competitive edge, offering farmers a practical tool to meet both economic and environmental goals.
VetosEurope's approach aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to climate action and responsible consumption. As global pressure mounts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane—a gas 28 times more potent than CO2—solutions like Anavrin are becoming increasingly critical. The company's work supports climate-smart agriculture, a growing movement that seeks to balance productivity with sustainability.
The company is currently developing a methane reduction project in Italy, which aims to significantly reduce enteric fermentation emissions from cattle. This project, structured under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), will be implemented in Uruguay, Italy, and Spain, and will involve beef and dairy farmers in adopting innovative feeding practices. Farmers participating in the project can contribute to climate mitigation and potentially receive financial returns linked to verified emission reductions.
VetosEurope's success is built on a foundation of scientific credibility, global distribution, and a farmer-centric approach. The company's products are backed by over 20 scientific research projects and have been used by approximately 2.5 million cattle worldwide over the past 11 years. Its partnerships with universities and research institutions ensure that every claim is rigorously tested and validated.
“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.”
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 solutions seamlessly address critical modern agricultural pain points—reducing livestock emissions, enhancing soil health, and pioneering AgriTech frameworks that actively combat climate change.”
As methane reduction becomes a regulatory and market priority, VetosEurope is well-positioned to benefit from the global push toward climate-smart agriculture. The company's products, like Anavrin, could become mainstream as farmers and policymakers seek tangible solutions to meet emission reduction targets. VetosEurope's recognition by World Business Outlook not only highlights its achievements but also serves as a blueprint for the future of sustainable food production.
