Potential of agroforestry in climate change mitigation

This paper assessment the greenhouse gas emissions in four different beef cattle production systems in Finland. Food is a vital part of everyday life and what we eat has a big impact on the environment. Emission from the livestock sector are a big concern as they represent around 12% of all human induced greenhouse gas emissions, and ruminants are responsible for 80% of these emissions (Statistics Finland 2019). Different studies suggest that consumers should switch their dietary habits and consume less animal products, in order to reduce our environmental impact.
