Greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production in many lower income countries are expected to continue to rise in the coming decades. The extent of this increase is largely dependent on how much production efficiency and associated productivity can be improved. Sustainably improving production efficiency offers a solution to avoid future emissions while increasing food security, resilience, and livelihoods. This evidence brief was produced by members of the Livestock Data for Decisions Network (LD4D).
