Enteric methane (CH4) contributed >95% of emissions and manure ∼4%, with negligible emissions attributed to inputs to the production system. …”

IFPRI's Strategy for Latin America and the Caribbean by International Food Policy Research Institute

“…The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region is host to some of the most difficult environments in the world, either because of altitude, climate, or topography, or because of huge inequalities in the distribution of land (the bottom 60 percent of landowners—those with the smallest landholdings—own only 4 percent of all land in the region), as well as striking income inequality in spite of economic growth as shown in <strong><a href="/sites/default/files/publications/lacstrategy_fig1.jpg">Figure 1</a></strong> (with an average Gini index score of 53.29 as compared to Asia and Eastern Europe, whose scores of 41.8 and 32.8, respectively, indicate far less income inequality). …”
