VetosEurope, an agritech company headquartered in Lugano, Switzerland, has been recognized with four prestigious awards from World Business Outlook magazine for its contributions to sustainable agriculture and cattle farming. The accolades 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. These awards highlight the company's role in addressing the dual challenges of profitability and environmental responsibility in livestock farming.
Founded over a decade ago, VetosEurope emerged from the global live-cattle trade with a mission to develop solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally sound. By collaborating with universities worldwide, the company created natural feed supplements designed to reduce methane emissions while enhancing productivity. This approach is encapsulated in the company's philosophy: 'Inspired by nature, to help nature.'
At the core of VetosEurope's portfolio is Anavrin, a methane-inhibiting feed supplement. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas 28 times more harmful than CO₂, is a significant byproduct of ruminant digestion. Reducing these emissions is critical for meeting global climate targets. Independent trials conducted by Universidad de la República in Montevideo, Uruguay, and Wageningen University and Research in the Netherlands have validated Anavrin's efficacy. The Uruguayan studies demonstrated 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. Notably, these reductions were achieved without compromising milk yield, and in some cases, productivity improved.
Beyond its environmental benefits, Anavrin has been shown to boost 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. The UK-based Carbon Trust has also formally validated Anavrin's effectiveness, adding international credibility to the product.
Carloalberto Ghizzoni, Partner & CEO of VetosEurope, expressed gratitude for the recognition, 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. 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 on the award win, saying, '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. Their solutions seamlessly address critical modern agricultural pain points—reducing livestock emissions, enhancing soil health, and pioneering AgriTech frameworks that actively combat climate change.'
VetosEurope is currently developing a methane reduction project in Italy, which will be certified under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and structured as a grouped project. The initiative aims to significantly reduce methane emissions from cattle farming by targeting enteric methanogenesis. Farmers in Uruguay, Italy, and Spain are being invited to participate, with potential financial returns linked to verified emission reductions. This project is led by a multidisciplinary team with expertise in livestock trading, animal nutrition, and climate-oriented solutions.
The company's influence extends globally through partnerships and distribution networks across Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Its business model is built on three pillars: scientific credibility, global distribution, and a farmer-centric approach. VetosEurope's work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those addressing climate action and responsible consumption. For policymakers, Anavrin represents a tangible solution to meet emission reduction targets, while for farmers, it offers a way to future-proof operations against tightening environmental regulations.
With around 2.5 million cattle having used Anavrin over the past 11 years and more than 20 scientific research projects backing its performance, VetosEurope is well-positioned to benefit from the global push toward climate-smart agriculture. As methane reduction becomes a regulatory and market priority, products like Anavrin are likely to become mainstream, offering a blueprint for sustainable food production.
