Livestock production is responsible for 12% of all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Managing sustainable intensification of livestock production systems could therefore soon become a key component of climate change mitigation efforts. Heifer International has been awarded additional fundin...

The University of Aberdeen and CCAFS are developing a simple tool for practitioners to quickly identify and compare mitigation options for agriculture. The CCAFS-MOT tool takes account of current farming practices and growing conditions to suggest a wide range of
mitigation options. The Excel-bas...
Smallholder farmers provide up to 80 percent of the food supply in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Yet very little is known about either the contribution of smallholder systems to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or the options for smallholders to mitigate their emissions and benefit from doing so. Th...
