Summary

This 2024 review examines mitigation technologies and management strategies designed to reduce both greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from livestock production systems. The authors synthesise evidence on emission reduction approaches across livestock farming contexts, as suggested by the comprehensive scope of the title. The work appears intended to provide practitioners and policymakers with a curated assessment of available mitigation options.

UK applicability

Given the UK's regulatory focus on agricultural emissions reduction and Net Zero commitments, this review's synthesis of mitigation technologies and management strategies is likely directly applicable to UK livestock farming policy and practice. The findings may inform UK agricultural guidance and support farmers in meeting future emissions reduction requirements.

Key measures

Greenhouse gas emissions (likely CO₂, CH₄, N₂O), air pollutants (likely NH₃, particulate matter, NOₓ), emission reduction percentages or potentials by mitigation technology

Outcomes reported

The review synthesises mitigation technologies and management strategies to reduce greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions from livestock production systems. It evaluates effectiveness of various interventions across production practices.
