Document Summary

Theres a lot of things that contribute. Deforestation, a main cause of carbon that is realized into the environment, it is unfair to add deforestation into the agricultural section. Methane emission, livestock is responsible for a big part. 2 most important ways it is emitted is enteric fermentation, and manure management. Ruminant animals in development nations are fed poor quality diets so they means diets with low bre and protein content that releases a lot of methane. If they have a good quality diet there is far less methane diet. All goes back to the management of manure. ** we are looking at the inef ciency of agriculture in developing countries ** Conclusion: animal agriculture is having huge global impacts on the environment. Re-assessment: global ghg emissions contribution estimates lowered from 18% to 14. 5% of anthropogenic emissions. Most of the emissions are related to enteric methane.
