Recent advances in enteric methane mitigation: insights from a meta analysis of tannin diets in small ruminant
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177783
Abstract
Ruminants play an important role in global food systems, particularly within smallholder farming systems that support over 600 million people globally. However, livestock are significant contributors to global methane emissions, accounting for over 32% of all anthropogenic methane. Under business-as-usual scenarios, these emissions are likely to increase as demand for livestock…

Applicability of low methane forage systems into voluntary carbon markets standards
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/177696
Abstract
Methane emissions from enteric fermentation by ruminants represent a significant challenge to global greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation efforts. Our work aims to compare leading methodologies and standards aimed at reducing enteric methane emissions in livestock production: VCS (VM0041), VCS (VM0042), AMS-III.BK from the American Carbon Registry, and the Gold Standard (GS). These methodologies, tailored for…

Abstract
La ganadería ha estado asociada a altas emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI). Investigaciones recientes de la iniciativa de Ganadería y Clima del OneCGIAR, demuestran que prácticas de mejoramiento genético y pastoreo rotacional tienen un potencial considerable para reducir la huella de carbono (HC) de la producción de carne, especialmente en regiones con baja productividad animal como América Latina. Estudios…

Using genetic diversity in deep root systems of forage grasses and rice to capture carbon in tropical soils
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138142
Abstract
Agricultural soils have the potential not only to be sinks of carbon dioxide (CO2) but also to mitigate the emissions of this gas to the atmosphere, thus, alleviating global warming. Perennial tropical grasses and rice upland and lowland varieties exhibit a large untapped genetic diversity in their root systems (e.g., deep rooting ability, exudation rates and chemical composition)…

Brazil digital tool review for agroecological transitions
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/130799
Abstract
This document contains a review of digital resources relevant to climate-informed agroecological transitions for the beef cattle sector in Brazil. The purpose of the review was to catalog relevant digital resources for beef cattle production in Brazil and assess their role in inclusive knowledge development, with special attention to farmers’ co-creation of knowledge for on-the-ground practices. To this end, we identified existing…

Abstract
Most of the research evaluating rice varieties, a major global staple food, for greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation has been conducted under continuous flooding. However, intermittent irrigation practices are expanding across the globe to address water shortages, which could alter emissions of methane (CH

Abstract
KEY MESSAGES
◼ Despite many available digital tools in the digital ecosystem, many neglect smallholders’ ranching. Also, they focus solely on performance indicators, lacking climate-informed agroecological features.
◼ Mitigation features are included only by performance assessment tools, although only by half of them.
◼ Adaptation features in digital tools include mitigation recommendations…

Potential of different Urochloa grass hybrids to enhance soil organic carbon stocks in a Mollisol of Valle del Cauca, Colombia
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/174587
Abstract
Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) in grasslands is a promising strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock. Some Urochloa grasses with deep roots enhance SOC in acidic, low-fertility tropical soils (Fisher et al., 1994). At the Alliance Bioversity-CIAT, genetically diverse Urochloa grasses are used in breeding programs to develop hybrids…
