The Carbon Footprint of Beef Production
Modern-day agriculture allows the average farmer to produce enough food to feed 125 other people. This is in sharp contrast to the historical agricultural systems exemplified by farming in the 1800s, when each farm could produce only enough food to feed one other family. The global population has increased in line with productivity, yet the rate of increase in meat consumption is greater than t...
متن کاملEfficiency of Dairy Production and its Carbon Footprint
The productivity of the American farmer has increased dramatically over the last century. One hundred years ago a farmer produced enough to feed 15 people and over 40% of the US population was involved in agriculture-related businesses. Today the produce from an average farmer feeds 130 people and farmers represent less than 2% of the U.S. population. The increases in agricultural productivity ...
متن کاملCarbon footprint and ammonia emissions of California beef production systems.
Beef production is a recognized source of greenhouse gas (GHG) and ammonia (NH(3)) emissions; however, little information exists on the net emissions from beef production systems. A partial life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted using the Integrated Farm System Model (IFSM) to estimate GHG and NH(3) emissions from representative beef production systems in California. The IFSM is a process-le...
متن کاملEcological Footprint and Carbon Footprint of Organic and Conventional Agrofoods Production, Processing and Services
The Ecological Footprint (EF) measure the natural capital demand of human activities (Wackernagel and Rees, 1996 and 2002) and reveal the sustainability of consumption patterns on individual, local, national and global scales (WWF, 2008). The ecological footprint measure the natural capital demand of human activities (Wackernagel and Rees, 1996) and reveal the sustainability of consumption patt...
متن کاملHydropower's Biogenic Carbon Footprint
Global warming is accelerating and the world urgently needs a shift to clean and renewable energy. Hydropower is currently the largest renewable source of electricity, but its contribution to climate change mitigation is not yet fully understood. Hydroelectric reservoirs are a source of biogenic greenhouse gases and in individual cases can reach the same emission rates as thermal power plants. ...
