93 Symposium--Animal Production and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Oral Session
ASA Section: Environmental QualityWith global population reaching 9 billion by 2050, food production will need to double. Animal agriculture will also expand with future food demands, but intensive animal agriculture can cause major environmental challenges, including significant contributions to global greenhouse gas emissions. Methane from ruminant enteric fermentation and methane and nitrous oxide emissions from manure storage and application to soils are important sources of greenhouse gas. This symposium will focus on management practices that may minimize emissions from animal production systems, focusing on the entire farm operation, including emissions from animal housing, manure management and land application of manures.
