| dc.description | Smallholder livestock keepers, fisherfolks and pastoralists are among the most vulnerable to climate change. Moreover, 14.5% of all human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from livestock supply chains. It amounts to a staggering 7.1 gigatonnes (GT) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2-eq) per year. The main sources of emissions are: feed production and processing and methane from ruminants’ digestion. The good news is that wider adoption of existing best practices and technologies in anima l feeding, health and husbandry, and manure management could help the global livestock sector be more resilient and cut its emissions of greenhouse gases as much as 30%. | |
