Tridge summary

The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa) has launched a study on the emission and removal of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the country's livestock and agriculture sectors. The research, conducted by about 400 researchers, looks at various factors including the type of cultivation and Brazil's biomes. The data will be used to more accurately measure the country's emissions, support the revision of the Low Carbon Emission Agriculture Plan (ABC), and guide climate change policy. The study also highlights the carbon capture potential of shellfish farming and the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per kilogram of meat or liter of milk in Brazil.

Did you know that oysters and mussels contribute environmentally to the storage of carbon in their shells? By hijacking one of the gases that cause the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere, malacoculture - production of oysters, mussels and scallops -, it fits as a sustainable system since it also does not impact the natural balance with the emission of these gases. Thus, it contributes to food security and national economic development, being able to meet the growing demands for animal protein. This information is part of one of the surveys launched, this Friday (9th), by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa) on the factors of emission and removal of greenhouse gases (GHG) in national livestock and agriculture. In the form of a collection, about 400 researchers present indicators, many of them new, that take into consideration the form of cultivation, the different Brazilian biomes, among other factors capable of showing the reality of the country's productive ...
