dc.description.abstractIMPLICATIONS : Well-managed systems like adaptive grazing and silvopasture enhance soil health, biodiversity, and water retention while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Intensive feeding practices, from supplementation to feedlots, increase meat production and manage emissions effectively through controlled feeding and manure strategies. Combining sustainable grazing with intensive systems balances land use, nutrition, and emissions reduction, addressing global food demand. Livestock’s up-cycling efficiency converts inedible grasses and by-products into nutrient-dense food, critical for food security. Farmers and industry leaders, through innovation and life-cycle analysis, use data-driven decisions to optimize sustainability, showcasing livestock’s essential role in achieving environmental and nutritional goals in agriculture.
