Blue Growth Potential to Mitigate Climate Change through Seaweed Offsetting.

The accurate quantification of the carbon footprints of animal products and the related development of greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation strategies are of interest to consumers, the general public, and the academic community. The objective of this review was to summarize recent advances in GHG emission quantification, life-cycle assessment applications, and mitigation technologies for animal production in the USA, to assist the development of system-based solutions for mitigation of GHG emissions from animal production. The GHG emissions from animal production mainly come from feed production, enteric fermentation, and manure management. Opportunities to mitigate emissions from feed production largely rely on continuous improvements in animal and feed production efficiency. This is in general agreement with the economic interest of the industry. To mitigate emissions from manure, many technologies can be chosen, depending on the given economic and regulatory environments. It is possible to minimize GHG emissions from manure through manure energy recovery when this is economically feasible. For enteric emissions, there are limited opportunities to reduce GHG emissions through dietary manipulation, feed management, or feed supplementations. Improving environmental stewardship of consumers and reducing food waste will reduce animal protein demand and are important bottom-line strategies to mitigate GHG from animal production systems.

Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from animal production

Estimating exposure to hydrogen sulfide from animal husbandry operations using satellite ammonia as a proxy: Methodology demonstration.

Animal source foods have been targeted in a wide range of literature, highlighting the business as a major driver of climate change and biodiversity loss. This study shows how actors involved in sustainable funds approach animal source foods and how they regard the business as a potential selection criterion. Drawn on Maarten Hajers argumentative discourse analysis storylines where identified. In addition, the storylines were interpreted through the theory of ecocentrism. From the material 13 storylines were identified with different arguments towards investments in the animal food business, such as “No negative view per definition”, “The overall financial strategy makes specific criteria less required” and “New approaches may come in the future”. The storylines clearly show that there is no single, coherent, approach taken by the actors. Instead, the storylines provide different arguments, such as highlighting the search of win-win investments from an economic- and environmental perspective, giving a manifold of views on how to address the animal food business. This corresponds with earlier research stressing the lack of common practices and what to include in the sustainability concept. The analysis shows, thereby, that actors involved in sustainable funds don’t clearly and profoundly avoid investments in the animal food business, instead rather address specific practices within the business. To set the animal food business as a selection criterion for exclusion, wasn’t put forward in any great sense. This due to views such as the least sustainable investments (in animal source foods or not) already being filtered away by present financial strategies and criteria. However, the potential of such criteria to be set in the future, for example if stakeholders’ attitudes towards the business change, was highlighted. Interpreting the storylines from an ecocentric perspective gave few correlations between such values and the approaches taken by the funds towards the animal food business. (Less)
