Global livestock sector in urgent need of standardised measurement system for GHG data
The ruminant livestock industry has a critical role to play in achieving the ambition of Net Zero emissions by 2050. In order for the ruminant livestock industry to transition to Net Zero, input and support will be required from all players along the supply chain, as well as adoption by farmers.
We hope that the recommendations in this whitepaper will help a wide range of stakeholders, from farmers to investors and policymakers, to take meaningful action that will support the ruminant livestock industry to achieve Net Zero.
“We’re delighted to collaborate with EIT Food and stakeholders from across industry and the research base on this activity. The dairy, beef and sheep industries are key agriculture sectors in the UK and Ireland, and this report provides a range of actionable recommendations that they can use to help transition towards Net Zero."
The recommendations outlined in the whitepaper were generated at two workshops developed and led by EIT Food North-West with the support of Innovate UK KTN. The workshops brought together a range of experts and key stakeholders from the livestock and agrifood industries, academia, governmental and non-governmental organisations, including Co-op, Rabobank, ABP Food Group, University of Edinburgh and Enterprise Ireland.
