The Guide on Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Livestock now available in French and Spanish
14th September 2016
‘Reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock: best practice and emerging options’ was jointly published by SAI Platform and the GRA’s Livestock Research Group andin late 2014.
With thanks to funding support from New Zealand and translation provided by LRG members in France, Chile and Colombia, this popular publication is now available in French and Spanish.
The guide is intended to help farmers and industry leaders make progress on meeting global food demand while reducing the industry’s contribution to climate change. It summarises current best practices ready for implementation at the farm level, as well as emerging options at various stages of research to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of livestock production across a range of farm systems. It covers intervention options for animal feed and nutrition, genetics and breeding, rumen modification, animal health, manure, and grassland management.
