Contributing over four percent of global emissions, methane plays a significant role in warming our planet, with the livestock sector as a major source. How can animal productivity be increased while aiming for absolute methane reduction?
Contributing over four percent of global emissions, methane plays a significant role in warming our planet, with the livestock sector as a major source. How can animal productivity be increased while aiming for absolute methane reduction? And how can the forces of private industry be marshaled in the pursuit of sustainable agricultural practices and net-zero commitments?
Ermias Kebreab, world-renowned animal scientist and chair of the United Nations Technical Working Group on Feed Additives, will explore methane mitigation strategies that emphasize both global and region-specific targets for addressing the climate crisis. He will also discuss cutting-edge advances in livestock science, with a focus on genetic selection, microbial engineering, and early-life interventions.
