Would feeding the cows grass instead of corn reduce the methane emissions?
Idk about grass specifically, but generally the answer for most standard cattle feed is no. There are seaweeds that can be added to cow's food that can help reduce methane emissions, but the most successful approach is to just stop eating cows.
Seaweed is what the World Economic Forum has been proposing for aprox a decade now. Anything not to stop or even cut down industrial meat production.
