Livestock and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Livestock Data for Decisions (LD4D); Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO); SEBI-Livestock Evidence Synthesis | Source |
The Livestock and Greenhouse Gas Emissions visualization, developed by Livestock Data for Decisions (LD4D), presents GHG emissions from livestock using data from the Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM). It displays both total emissions and emissions intensity (GHG per unit of protein) across regions, species, production systems, and products. Based on a life cycle assessment (LCA) framework, the tool reveals significant variations in emissions intensity, highlighting the potential for reducing GHG emissions through improved production efficiency. The underlying data, aligned with IPCC (2006) Tier methodologies, is available for download to support evidence-based decisions for more sustainable livestock systems.
