Grassland, livestock and manure management

Livestock production is a significant contributor to climate change, primarily through methane emissions from enteric fermentation occurring in the digestive systems of animals and nitrous oxide and methane emissions from manure management.

 

Projects grouped in this category include those involving novel technological options for reducing livestock emissions, innovative contract design, decision support and reporting tools.
