Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'ANIMALCHANGE will provide scientific guidance on the integration of adaptation and mitigation objectives and design sustainable development pathways for livestock production in Europe, in Northern and Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. ANIMALCHANGE will inform public policy development in EU27 and propose cooperation programs addressing smallholder livestock farming in selected developing countries. The core analytical spine of the project is a series of coupled biophysical and socio-economic models combined with experimentation. This allows exploring future scenarios for the livestock sector under baseline and atmospheric CO2 stabilization scenarios. These scenarios are first constructed in Component (CP) 1. They are elaborated and enriched by breakthrough mitigation and adaptation options from CP 2 at field and animal scales, integrated and evaluated at farm scale in CP 3 and used to assess policy options and their socio-economic consequences in CP 4. ANIMALCHANGE will: - Quantify and reduce uncertainties in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and assess climate change impacts on livestock systems (including grasslands) - Revise estimates of the GHG balance of livestock systems and integrate soil carbon sequestration - Integrate climate variability and extremes into the assessment of impacts, adaptation and vulnerability of livestock systems to climate change - Develop breakthrough technologies for adaptation and mitigation to climate change for both ruminants and monogastrics - Study and quantify trade-offs and synergies between adaptation and mitigation options - Assess the potential societal and sectoral costs and benefits of these options for the livestock sector in Europe and in study regions of Africa and Latin America - Assess climate change vulnerability of animal production and of associated GHG emissions - Provide direct support through the design of an integrated and consistent mitigation and adaptation policy framework for the livestock sector'
Introduzione (Teaser)
A recent research project is conducting experiments, statistical analyses and mathematical modelling to address the problem of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock farming.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
Climate change threatens both food security and rural livelihoods as changing rainfall patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events and new disease outbreaks abound. However, the global animal food chain and associated land-use change are contributors of greenhouse gas emissions. Current policies aimed at curbing these may well be insufficient and ineffective.
The EU-funded http://www.animalchange.eu/ (ANIMALCHANGE) project was set up to improve emissions estimates and emissions reduction methods in livestock systems. The project will extend beyond Europe's borders, applicable to a wide range of systems and various end users across Africa and Latin America.
To this end, project members worked on a suite of scenarios, models, assessments and policy support tools. Activity data on livestock production systems were collected in Africa and Latin America; EU data were already available.
Modelling and scenario planning work was conducted at the farm and regional scales. Researchers updated and improved upon many models of livestock emissions and adaptation-mitigation strategies relating to livestock.
Researchers tested the models and findings of ANIMALCHANGE at 24 case study farms around Europe, as well as in Kenya and several South American countries. All of the findings were collated into several reports that can inform policy decisions in the area of adaptation and mitigation.
ANIMALCHANGE will help European livestock production adapt to challenges posed by climate change. As such, the project will also support the mitigation of emissions from European livestock systems. A key project impact will be a better informed public, and support for science-based perception of the role of livestock systems in climate change.
