🐄 Beef it up

Livestock production contributes around 11 to 17% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs).

The biggest source of livestock emissions? The digestive process (enteric fermentation) of cattle produces methane, which cattle emit through burping. 

• Besides this, feed production, energy, and processing can also emit GHGs.
