Demonstration actions to mitigate the carbon footprint of beef production in France, Ireland, Italy and Spain (LIFE BEEF CARBON)
Start date: Jan 4, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2020,
Background
Beef production generates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions accounting for six per cent of all human-induced emissions. Nevertheless, studies reveal that knowledge gaps exist among beef farmers about the use of innovative practices to reduce GHG emissions. Beef production can also regulate climate through carbon storage in grassland. This dual rol ...

Systems of dairy production in the Atlantic Area (GREEN DAIRY)
Start date: Sep 30, 2003, End date: Nov 29, 2007,
Milk production is one of the major agricultural and economic activities of the Atlantic Area, and represents 30% of the production of the European Union. However, systems of intensive farming produce quantitatively significant waste flows of nitrogen and phosphor, which contribute to the pollution of beaches and estuaries and which therefore constitute an obstacle for the tourism sector. In order ...
