Agri-Environmental Indicators / Livestock

Information Comments (0)
Livestock density is important mainly because it gives an indication of manure excretion (and the subsequent emission of nutrients to the atmosphere and aquatic environment), of greenhouse gases emissions from digestion, and of the pressure on the agricultural land available. The type of livestock determines the impact on the environment, according to the animal fodder, water requirements, and farming practices (e.g. grazing), with different effects on water consumptions, GHG emissions, soil consumption, etc.).

       ENERGY USE:   Agriculture consumes energy directly for crop and livestock production   (machinery, etc) but also indirectly through fertilizers and pesticides.   Agriculture also produces energy as biofuels and biomass production. As an   energy user, Agriculture contributes to global warming (mainly through CO2   emissions, but also CH4 and N2O emissions), air pollution (mainly through NOx …
