Estimation of the Availability and Effect of Some European Agro-Industrial By-Products to Reduce the Carbon Footprint of Sheep and Goat Diets

Mondina Francesca Lunesu, Maria Francesca Caratzu, S. Carta, Marco Farina et autres

In this study, we aimed to assess the availability and environmental impact of a selection of widespread agro-industrial by-products in Europe and their potential to reduce the environmental impact of small ruminant diets by replacing conventional feed ingredients. Grape, olive, and tomato …

Carbon tunnel vision and sustainable meat production in the West: A disproportionate focus on dietary greenhouse gas emissions?

Frédéric Leroy, Ty Beal, Frank R. Dunshea, Peer Ederer et autres

Livestock systems represent a considerable environmental challenge. In response, various scientists, non-governmental organisations, and policy makers claim that Western populations in particular need to sharply reduce meat consumption. Given people's attachment to meat, many of these actors favour hard policy interventions based …

Role of cultivation intensity in shaping the net carbon footprint of Mediterranean cow-calf systems

Mondina Francesca Lunesu, Maria Francesca Caratzu, Sara Sechi, Giuseppe Pulina et autres

This study aimed to estimate the net carbon footprint (Net CFP) of Mediterranean cow–calf systems and to assess the role of cultivation intensity in shaping environmental performance. Eighteen beef farms adopting a cow–calf grazing system with an open productive cycle were considered. …

Attributing Farm-to-Slaughter Emissions to Hides: Evidence from Beef Supply Chains

Mondina Francesca Lunesu, Fabio Correddu, S. Carta, Stefania Sechi et autres

To ensure transparent Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), climate impacts from cattle production must be consistently allocated among meat, milk and raw hides. This review examines allocation boundaries, compares physical and economic methods, and evaluates the upstream burden attributable to hides using extensive …

Attributing Farm-to-Slaughter Emissions to Hides: Evidence from Beef Supply Chains

Mondina Francesca Lunesu, Fabio Correddu, S. Carta, Stefania Sechi et autres

Climate change is driven by anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs). In the cattle supply chain, correctly allocating emissions to meat, milk and hides is crucial for life-cycle assessment (LCA). This paper reviews LCA boundaries and allocation criteria, discusses new global warming potential metrics …

CO2 removal to reach net zero warming of global methane and nitrous oxide emissions of livestock: Comparison of two metrics under different 2050 FAO scenarios

Fabio Correddu, Mondina Francesca Lunesu, Maria Francesca Caratzu, Giuseppe Pulina

Achieving global climate targets requires accurate quantification of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their implied impact on temperature. However, the choice of emission metric-particularly between Global Warming Potential over 100 years (GWP100) and Global Warming Potential Star (GWP*)-can significantly influence how emissions …
