Sustainable agriculture has become a vital focus in the modern world, with increasing awareness of environmental issues to mitigate climate change.
Planet boundaries for phosphorus and biodiversity are at risk. They are the 2 planet boundaries for which we are beyond the zone of uncertainty. For greenhouse gas emissions we are still in the zone of uncertainty, which means we need to intensify our efforts to achieve reductions of cow methane emissions (see Figure 1).
In the beef industry there are significant opportunities to implement practices that reduce carbon footprint, methane emissions, and mineral excretion into the environment. This article explores strategies and innovations in sustainable cow-calf beef farming that address these key environmental challenges.
