The role of non-CO2 mitigation options within the dairy industry for pursuing climate change targets
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 Mitigation of non-CO _2 climate forcing agents must complement the mitigation of CO _2 to achieve long-term temperature and climate policy goals. A large share of global non-CO _2 greenhouse gas emissions is attributed to agriculture, with a significant ...

245 Greenhouse Gas Emissions Mitigation Strategies
Journal of Animal Science, 2021 Abstract Livestock production contributed 3.9% to the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from the US in 2018. Most studies to mitigate GHG from livestock are focused on enteric methane because it contributes about 70% of all livestock GHG emissions.
