Cows and climate

Description
How can cattle farming be reconciled with climate mitigation? This fact sheet examines the trade-off between methane emissions from ruminants and their important role in sustainable agriculture. It outlines possible strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and places organic, pasture-based livestock farming within the broader context of food security and ecosystem services.
