Genesis reversed: climate change impacts on agriculture and livelihoods in mixed crop-livestock systems of East Africa
The contemporary concern about anthropogenic release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the
environment and the contribution of livestock to this phenomenon have sparked animal
scientists’ interest in predicting methane (CH4) emissions by ruminants. Focusing on milk
production, we address six basic nut...

An Overview of Dairy Cattle Models for Predicting Milk Production: Their Evolution, Evaluation, and Application for the Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) for Livestock.
The food system today is destroying the environment upon which future food production depends.
While the food system generates enough food energy for our population of over 7 billion it does not deliver adequate and affordable nutrition for all. About half the global population is inadequately or...
