Livestock and enteric methane
20/10/2022
Burping livestock are a big problem for our planet. When cows and other ruminants eat, their food ferments in their gut and produces methane, which contributes to global warming. FAO and partners are working with countries to assess their greenhouse gas emissions and develop sustainable livestock systems that benefit farmers, the economy, and the planet.

Making livestock production more sustainable (2021)
21/01/2021
Livestock farming is growing to meet the rising demand. This represents and opportunity for small farmers. But it can also damage the environment. The livestock sector is responsible for 14.5% of all human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, and 30% of global methane emissions. A shift towards low-carbon livestock production is possible, but it requires decisive action by all.
