This microcredential introduces the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in livestock systems (enteric fermentation, forage production, and manure) and will assist learners in identifying livestock management practices to reduce GHG emissions and sequester carbon. Based on current research and best practices, learners will develop farm-specific strategies for their livestock operation that reduce GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration.
By the end of this training, learners will develop farm-specific strategies for a livestock farming operation that reduces GHG emissions and increase carbon sequestration. This training allows learners to build upon strategies developed in the Climate Smart Fundamentals microcredential, with strategies specific to a livestock operation.
