livestock farming emissions
Livestock farming emissions refer to the greenhouse gases that are released into the atmosphere from the raising and management of animals for food production purposes, such as cattle, pigs, and poultry. These emissions primarily include methane and nitrous oxide, which contribute to climate change and are often generated through processes like enteric fermentation (digestion) and manure management.
