GreenShed: Shaping the future of livestock emissions - Issuu
Beyond the hysteria and the hyperbole, however, there’s no doubt that beef farming is a major source of methane and that the industry itself has reached a turning point. It is facing greater pressure than ever before to reduce its environmental impact while also maintaining or increasing productivity as well as improving its broader sustainability.
