🔴#LIVE from Cartagena, Colombia: @GRSBeef Symposium, event organized by the Colombian Roundtable on Sustainable Livestock (@MGSColombia), with the support of @tfa_Global, @WWFColombia, @UKinColombia, the Alliance Bioversity-CIAT, and other partners.
@GRSBeef @MGSColombia @tfa_Global @WWFColombia @UKinColombia Representatives from the National Roundtables on Sustainable Livestock of 🇵🇾Paraguay, 🇲🇽Mexico, 🇺🇸USA, 🇧🇷Brazil, 🇧🇴Bolivia, 🇨🇦Canada and 🇨🇴Colombia share their approaches, principles and advances on #SustainableLivestock on their countries; A priceless exchange of knowledge.
@GRSBeef @MGSColombia @tfa_Global @WWFColombia @UKinColombia @CarneSostenible @USRSBeef @gtpspecuaria @CRSB_beef Jacobo Arango (@Jacobo_ABC), Senior Scientist of the Alliance presents in the @GRSBeef expert panel about carbon in livestock landscapes, with tools for analysis for the assessment of emissions and storage of carbon at the landscape level, based on practical examples.
"We do direct measures like concentrations and GHG fluxes in soil,forage,trees,crops and animals; and indirect: remote sensing to register changes in quality & quantity of forage, soil carbon & above ground biomass; animal sensors to register movements, behavior and feed intake"
@Jacobo_ABC @GRSBeef @MGSColombia "An example is our work in Hacienda San José: based on a life cycle analysis, we calculated the carbon footprint from cradle to farm-gate, GHG emissions & removals in a 5y period of measurements, finding that there is a potential removal of 2.5 tCO₂/ha/yr, a positive footprint".
@Jacobo_ABC @GRSBeef @MGSColombia "Systems thinking is necessary to assess climate impacts at the landscape scale. Life cycle assessment and particularly the Carbon footprint are suitable methodologies for carbon monitoring at product and landscape scale". some of the conclusions of @Jacobo_ABC's presentation.
