Biomass use, production, feed efficiencies, and greenhouse gas emissions from global livestock systems por Herrero, Mario, Havlík, Petr, Valin, Hugo, Notenbaert, An Maria Omer, Rufino, Mariana C., Thornton, Philip K., Blümmel, Michael, Weiss, F., Grace, Delia, Obersteiner, Michael

“…The dataset highlights: (i) feed efficiency as a key driver of productivity, resource use, and greenhouse gas emission intensities, with vast differences between production systems and animal products; (ii) the importance of grasslands as a global resource, supplying almost 50% of biomass for animals while continuing to be at the epicentre of land conversion processes; and (iii) the importance of mixed crop–livestock systems, producing the greater part of animal production (over 60%) in both the developed and the developing world. These data provide critical information for developing targeted, sustainable solutions for the livestock sector and its widely ranging contribution to the global food system.…”
