While enteric methane emissions are a major source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, grazing livestock can play a critical role in managing and restoring natural landscape function to combat climate change, while also improving the productivity, resilience, and biodiversity of natural ecosystems.
In the fifth episode of Navigating to Net Zero, host Rebecca Darst talks with Paul McDougall, Paraway Pastoral Company Limited's [Paraway] Natural Capital Manager, about how Paraway and other Australian farmland managers are leveraging the livestock and natural assets they manage to decarbonise their operations in a sustainable way and in line with the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) Paris Agreement goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
