The evolution and evaluation of dairy cattle models for predicting milk production: an agricultural model intercomparison and improvement project (AgMIP) for livestock by Tedeschi, L.O., Cavalcanti, L.F.L., Fonseca M.A., Herrero, Mario, Thornton, Philip K.

“…The contemporary concern about anthropogenic release of greenhouse gas (GHG) into the environment and the contribution of livestock to this phenomenon have sparked animal scientists’ interest in predicting methane (CH4) emissions by ruminants. We contend that improving the adequacy of mathematical nutrition model estimates of production of meat and milk is a sine qua non condition to reliably determine ruminants’ worldwide contribution to GHG. …”

Put more carbon in soils to meet Paris climate pledges by Rumpel, Cornelia, Amiraslani, Farshad, Koutika, Lydie-Stella, Smith, Pete, Whitehead, David, Wollenberg, Eva Karoline

“…Increasing the carbon content of the world’s soils by just a few parts per thousand (0.4%) each year would remove an amount of CO2 from the atmosphere equivalent to the fossil-fuel emissions of the European Union1 (around 3–4 gigatonnes (Gt)). …”

Milk production systems in Latin America and the Caribbean: Biophysical, socio-economic, and environmental performance. by Fariña, Santiago, Vigil Moreno, Osiris, Candioti, Francisco, Villanueva, Cristóbal, Sánchez Ledezma, William, Moscoso, Cristian J., Cajarville, Cecilia, Charlón, Verónica, Urbina Abaunza, Luis, Guacapiña Viteri, Antonio, Chirife, Silvia, Herrera, Domiciano, Stirling, Sofía

“…Higher productivity and profit indicators were related to increased output and income per unit of workforce or family unit as well as to lower emissions of CH4 per unit of product. Emissions per hectare naturally increased with productivity although below the levels of more intensified overseas countries where environmental regulations are applied. …”

Förekomst av fekala mikroorganismer och antibiotikaresistenta bakterier i gödsel och vattendrag kring hästanläggningar by Gertzell, Elin

“…Kopplat till konstaterat höga utsläpp av näringsämnen från hästanläggningar och indikationer på utsläpp även av föroreningar i form av fekala mikroorganismer gör det till en bransch som är angelägen är undersöka med avseende på dess miljöpåverkan. Studien jämförde halter av fekala indikatorbakterier i vattendrag uppströms och nedströms större hästanläggningar, och analyserade också förekomsten av ESBL-producerande E.coli både i vattendragen och i gödsel. …”

“Planting Trees is Always Good” by Planting Mollaoglu, Emil

“…Two Swedish companies’ websites were analysed and semi-structured interviews with 13 customers at MAX were conducted in order to understand what kinds of problems carbon offsetting by planting trees in countries in the Global South responds to according to these actors. The thesis presents four problem-solution complexes in which the two companies mainly represent climate change as a problem of 1) reduced emissions and carbon dioxide removal, 2) consumption, 3) deforestation and carbon sequestration and 4) where carbon offsetting also is represented as a solution to sustainable development challenges in the Global South. …”
