UN's FAO report from 2015 states that livestock-related agri-food systems account for 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with emissions expected to nearly double by 2050 if no changes are made. Beef production is responsible for 62% of animal production emissions, with methane accounting for over half of total global emissions. To reduce emissions, the FAO recommends increasing productivity, changing animal diets, promoting sustainable agriculture, selecting genetic traits, and reducing waste.

Based on the year 2015, when 810 million tonnes of milk, 78 million tonnes of eggs and 330 million tonnes of meat were produced, the FAO explains in its report (titled Towards a reduction in emissions – Global assessment of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation solutions in livestock-related agri-food systems) that livestock-related agri-food systems accounted for approximately 6.2 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions (Gt CO2 eq) per year, or 12% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. If nothing is done and if productivity is not increased, the response to the increase in demand risks bringing global emissions attributable to livestock to almost 9.1 Gt CO2 eq of here in 2050 estimates the UN agency.
