Allele mining in diverse accessions of tropical grasses to improve forage quality and reduce environmental impact by Hanley, Steve J, Pellny, Till K., Vega, Jose J. de, Castiblanco, Valheria, Arango, Jacobo, Eastmond, Peter J., Heslop-Harrison, J.S., Mitchell, Rowan A. C.

“…A key target for variety improvement is forage quality: enhanced digestibility could decrease the amount of land required per unit production, and enhanced lipid content could decrease methane emissions from cattle. For these traits, loss-of-function (LOF) alleles in known gene targets are predicted to improve them, making a reverse genetics approach of allele mining feasible. …”

Microbial examination of anaerobic sludge adaptation to animal slurry by Moset, Verónica, Cerisuelo, Alba, Ferrer, Pablo, Jimenez, A., Bertolini, Edson, Cambra-López, María

“…Additionally, the relationship between microbial parameters and sludge physicochemical composition and methane yield was examined. Results showed that the addition of PS to an unadapted thermophilic anaerobic digester caused an increase in volatile fatty acids (VFA) concentration, a decrease in removal efficiency and CH4 yield. …”

Scaling up the use of low-emissions development (LED) research outputs in Vietnam: Co-design of LED research priorities, outputs, and impact pathways for emissions reduction from t... by Khatri-Chhetri, Arun, Anh, Le Hoang, Huong, Hoang Thi Thien, Huyen, Le Thi Thanh, Huong, Nguyen Thi Lien, Wollenberg, Eva Karoline

“…Key messages – Using a rational formulation tool (PC Dairy Software) with locally available feeds can increase productivity and income of dairy farmers and reduce methane emissions. This requires building the capacity of policymakers, extension officers, dairy farmers, and feed industries to facilitate the use of the livestock PC Dairy Software and the national deed database…”

The Cow in the Room Livestock and Climate Engagement at the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) by Mugo, Cynthia, Victor, Michael, Flintan, Fiona E.

“…The livestock sector is often cited as the most intensive emitter of greenhouse gases within agricultural production systems, contributing to about 18% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from methane and nitrous oxide. However, science shows that sustainable livestock can bring adaptation, mitigation and economic growth benefits to both people and the planet. …”

Khatlon region’s agriculture sector development trends by Khakimov, Parviz, Ashurov, Timur

“…In addition, the sector is affected by climate change and at the same time accelerates the ongoing process of climate change due to greenhouse gases, especially methane emissions. In sum, the region now plays a vital role in meeting Tajikistan's food security needs and income generation for rural households, however, further sustainable growth of the sector requires addressing challenges, increasing investments into the sector and promoting CSA practices (Table 1A in Appendix).…”

Climate change mitigation potential of agricultural practices supported by IFAD investments An ex ante analysis by Richards, Meryl B., Arslan, Aslihan, Cavatassi, Romina, Rosenstock, Todd S.

“…We use data from field studies in the scientific literature to estimate the effects of a large set of agricultural practices promoted by IFAD (and other development agencies) on soil organic carbon stocks, nitrous oxide emissions from soils, and methane emissions from rice paddies. Our findings identify soil and rice management practices with the largest mitigation potential and those that can potentially increase emissions; discuss uncertainties in mitigation analyses; and provide recommendations to improve monitoring of mitigation benefits for project design and implementation.…”
