Number 8 bio’s Post

🌱 🐮 Cuddly cows & buttery croissants 🥐 ✨ This week, some of the Number 8 bio team took a field trip to Victoria, and what a productive week it was! First stop — Gelato Messina's dairy and hazelnut farm! We got the chance to meet the cows behind our favourite gelato and couldn’t resist a cuddle 🐄💚. We also took the opportunity to connect with some amazing industry groups including Dairy Australia, Agriculture Victoria, Gardiner Foundation, and AgriZeroNZ. Together, we explored innovative ways to work towards decarbonising the dairy industry 🌍🧑🌾. And of course, no trip to Melbourne would be complete without a stop at Lune Croissanterie 🥐 — yes, they were definitely worth the wait! Closing out our week excited about the possibilities ahead as we continue to drive sustainability in the ag sector! #Number8Bio #BetterFeed #DairyIndustry #Sustainability #Decarbonisation #EntericMethane #Victoria #AgricultureInnovation #DairyAustralia #AgVic Thomas Williams Alex Carpenter Simone Barakat Britt Rinker

There's nothing like starting a Monday with a full cup ☕️ The Number 8 bio team is buzzing after an inspiring company offsite in Brisvegas✨ where we had the chance to strategise, connect, and lay the groundwork for our next big steps. Our team is growing, and so is our ambition. Last week was all about aligning our vision, strengthening our bonds, and exploring exciting opportunities with potential partners and customers who share our passion for productive and sustainable agriculture 🤠 We’re developing a game-changing feed additive for the livestock industry designed to reduce methane emissions and boost animal productivity. The road ahead is exciting, and we’re more motivated than ever to drive impactful change in the AgTech and ClimateTech sectors. Here’s to making the future of agriculture better for farmers and the environment! 🌏💪 #AgTech #ClimateTech #Sustainability #Innovation #Livestock #MethaneReduction #Teamwork #Number8Bio Thomas Williams Alex Carpenter Simone Barakat Britt Rinker Puja Paul Noelia Rubio Dominik Kopp Silas Vick Scott Jamieson Joe Bracegirdle Joseph Raphael

🌍 Happy World Environment Day! 🌱 Today, we reflect on our collective responsibility to protect our planet and celebrate Australian farmers' incredible stewardship of the land. At Number 8 bio, we're focusing on one of the most impactful strategies: reducing enteric methane emissions directly. Methane has a profound near-term impact on climate change and presents an opportunity for creating significant value. Our innovative feed additives are designed to improve rumen performance and reduce methane, helping producers drive sustainable agriculture 💚 #WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #ClimateAction #AgTech #Agriculture #AnimalHealth #MethaneReduction

🎉 We’re proud to see that our Senior Microbiologist, Silas Vick, has been published in Nature Portfolio! This research, conducted during his time as a Postdoctoral Scientist at NMBU - Norwegian University of Life Sciences, is titled "Unlocking bacterial potential to reduce farmland N2O emissions." It highlights innovative methods to mitigate nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils, contributing to global warming. 🌍✨ An incredible contribution to advancing sustainable agriculture - congrats to Silas and the NMBU scientists! 👏 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dNr5mzBH #Sustainability #Innovation #Agriculture #ClimateAction #Nature

What an incredible time at #Beef24! Our top highlights from our week in Rockhampton: 💥 Agtech advances: Walking through Beef Australia 2024, you couldn't help but get excited about the innovation flooding our fields. From smart sensors monitoring everything on the farm to eco-friendly practices that enhance productivity, it’s clear: agtech is making huge strides in what many know as the least digitised industry. 📊 Carbon talks get real: This year, the buzz was all about redefining profit through a greener lens. A shift in farm production economics, with a significant focus on emissions, natural capital and biodiversity. Producers are increasingly valuing the opportunities that sustainably producing food and fibre presents. 🌱 Rocky on the rise: The Westpac Property tours around Rockhampton were a major highlight. It was great to hear from Scott Braund from Mort & Co and Dan Edwards from Rural Funds Management Limited on how they are teaming up with locals to spearhead exciting new projects. These collaborations are bringing state-of-the-art feedlots and sustainable farms to life. 🏆 Agscent’s big win: We loved seeing our friends at Agscent snag the top spot at the 'Pitch in the Paddock'. It’s more than just a win; it’s a testament to the vibrant startup culture brewing within Aussie agriculture. Their success is a beacon for all of us on a mission to innovate sustainable solutions in the agri-sector. 💚 Community & heart: The energy was infectious, with thousands flocking to the event, proving that agriculture is not just about crops and cattle—it’s about people. Between the lively competitions, powerful talks and sundowner sessions, #Beef24 was a week-long celebration of the tight-knit, resilient community that's at the heart of what we do. It was a week that reminded us why we’re so passionate about this industry. Thank you to everyone who made our week in unforgettable. We can't wait for 2027! 🤠🐮 #Number8Bio #SustainableAg #AgTech #Emissions
