			Aside from a blog post written by CEO Russ Conser in 2018, the Standard Soil website does not address the subject of Methane at all.

			In "Reinventing Real Beef," Conser argues that "growing better quality and more diverse forage in pasture" can reduce methane emissions because it leads to "more energy going into the animal and less escaping as methane back out into the air."

			While he does not provide a citation for this claim, he later cites a study published in 2018 by Advisory Board Member Jason Rowntree, citing it as "recent research" which "suggests that the production of beef cattle can even be done in a way where the carbon captured in soil significantly exceeds the emission of methane." However, the study itself does not make this claim, but argues instead that improved forage quality can reduce enteric CH4 emissions by 15%<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0308521X17310338</ref>
