Tomorrow, GP Cotton Holdings will host a session on #sustainable livestock practices—supported by AFIA’s own Mallory Gaines! This session aims to unite stakeholders across the food value chain to address both progress and challenges in implementing sustainable livestock initiatives. Key discussions will cover the role of policy and industry support, the environmental and economic benefits of sustainable practices, and how the sector drives #climate resilience and rural development. #COP29 #SustainableLivestock #AFIA #ClimateResilience

🆕 GREAT NEWS: The European Parliament has officially established a new Intergroup on Sustainable Livestock with the support of numerous MEPs across Europe and the major political groups. 🌍🇪🇺 👏 This significant step reflects a commitment to invest and explore ways of making livestock farming systems more environmentally, socially, and economically #sustainable, while ensuring #FoodSafety, #AnimalWelfare, and thriving #rural communities. 💡 At AVEC, we believe this Intergroup will be a game-changer, bridging the gap between policymakers and the realities farmers face on the ground. It will provide a platform to discuss practical #sustainability solutions in EU livestock farming and help amplify the voices of livestock professionals during key policy debates in Brussels. 📣 Together with all European Livestock Voice partners, we look forward to contributing to this crucial platform and working towards a #sustainable and #competitive European Agriculture. 🔗 Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/eqrzB_Gg

𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘁 Through regular farmer group meetings, experts recommend introducing maize silage into traditional feeding practices for cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats. A TMR ration with nitrate supplement is also suggested for their livestock. This approach not only supports better livestock health but also reduces methane emissions by 20%—a significant step toward safeguarding our biodiversity. By working together, farmers are embracing sustainable practices that contribute to a cleaner environment and healthier ecosystems. Together, we're building a more sustainable future! #SustainableFarming #BiodiversityProtection #ClimateAction #friendshipngo

🌍 Adapting livestock systems to a changing climate. Climate change is impacting how we produce food and thus how we approach sustainable livestock systems. We believe that a systems approach is key to enhancing sustainability—considering everything from kilograms of beef to litres of milk produced under resource-efficient methods. By investing in sustainable livestock systems, we can address climate resilience while meeting growing demands for animal protein. #Nbryo #7YearsIn7Days #NbryoPartner #PoweredByNbryo #LeadingChange #LivestockRevolution #GlobalAgriculture #SustainableSolutions

🌎🍔 Is it really the cow's fault? Livestock emissions are often blamed as a significant contributor to climate change, but what if the stats we hear are misleading? In my recent article, I unpack the misconceptions, highlight the progress made, and discuss how innovative practices can make livestock farming part of the climate solution. Let’s move past oversimplified narratives and focus on what really matters—supporting sustainable practices while balancing the importance of livelihoods, nutrition, and environmental stewardship. 📖 Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e9KXfNdv #ClimateChange #Sustainability #Agriculture #FoodSystems

Our latest blog piece is by Poppy Frater, Senior Consultant with SAC Consulting. Titled "Turning the Climate Tide: The Integral Role of Sustainable Livestock Practices", Poppy looks at the livestock farming's significant contributions to greenhouse gas emissions, particularly methane and how it finds itself in a critical role. https://buff.ly/3yXkBiu

Turning industrial by-products into agricultural solutions? It’s an innovative way to improve livestock farming while protecting the environment. Phosphogypsum is doing just that. Here’s how: Comfortable Livestock Bedding: Soft and absorbent, reducing stress and improving animal welfare. Better Forage Production: Conditions soil to grow nutrient-rich feed for healthier livestock. Eco-Friendly Practices: Reduces industrial waste and promotes a sustainable agricultural cycle. Improves Resource Efficiency: Using every material to its fullest potential benefits everyone. Miri is proud to be part of this sustainability movement. How are you making your livestock operations greener? #SustainableFarming #Phosphogypsum #Miriglobal

🌱 Unlocking the Power of Biodigesters for a Sustainable Future! 🌱 At Carbon Genesys, we believe in the transformative potential of sustainable livestock farming, not just for the environment but also for landowners and farmers.

Happy to see that 10 selected videos from the last Oxford Real Farming Conference have been released. I’m especially pleased that the video on "What Role for Grazing Livestock in a Warming World?" is available to watch. Our work on Rothamsted Research's TechnoGrazing project and the #NorthWykeFarmPlatform was highlighted. "Reducing livestock production in the UK is commonly cited as a means of tackling climate change by reducing emissions from agriculture. However, in this panel, participants with a depth of practical and scientific experience in livestock farming explore the multiple social and environmental benefits that well-managed grasslands and grazing systems can provide, proposing that ruminants can play a significant role in a climate-friendly UK food system through biodiversity benefits and carbon sequestration. The panellists propose that reductions shouldn’t be focused on extensive grazing livestock but on unsustainable intensive livestock farms." You can watch them at the link below:
