Improving GHG inventories in Colombia and strengthening mitigation through use of low-emission forage

In Colombia, the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT improved and validated the simulation model RUMINANT, enabling more accurate data on methane emissions in Colombia’s national reporting. Initiative scientists are also identifying and promoting low-emission forages to improve the resilience and sustai...

Summary:In Colombia, the Alliance of Bioversity and CIAT improved and validated the simulation model RUMINANT, enabling more accurate data on methane emissions in Colombia’s national reporting. Initiative scientists are also identifying and promoting low-emission forages to improve the resilience and sustainability of livestock production; research that the Government of Colombia is now incorporating into its climate action plans. This outcome brief describes the two outcome pathways that were taken to achieve this result.
