Know more

The continuous increase in world meat consumption since the years 1950 obliges to consider the impact of animal farming on the atmosphere (Livestock's Long Shadow; FAO, 2006). Scientific knowledge is useful to measure the emissions, to improve national inventories of gas emissions and to understand the processes which make it possible to reduce the emissions while adapting to the diversity of the animal farming systems and the practices of the farmers.

Conference topics include:

• Measuring methods
• Emitting processes
• Inventories/Emission factors
• Modeling
• Mitigation strategies
• Environmental assessment
