In the CircAgric-GHG project, we're improving circular farming practices across various climate zones 🌍. Promising practices include bakery by-products for animal feed 🍞, legume-rich pastures 🌿, slurry separation 💧 Anaerobic digestion of manure ♻️ and grass-clover swards☘️.

New article in Agricultural Systems (Vol. 222, 2025): 🐄 Best practices cut #GHGemissions by up to 29% & ammonia by 37% in grassland-based dairy production 🌿📉👉 @TeagascGrass10 @TeagascEnviron @uniofgalway @uccBEES @SETUIreland

Researchers in the CircAgricGHG project are adapting and testing a selection of #LCA and #circularityindicators to be applied in agri-food systems within a consistent methodological framework. @gpardoBC3 @AgusBC3 #circularAgriculture #SustainableFarming

Mark your calendars for October 5-9, 2025. Join us for the 9th GGAA Conference 2025 at the Sarit Expo Center in #Nairobi #Kenya Hosted by @ILRI and @NIBIO_no #animal #agriculture #GHGemissions #mitigationstrategies

70 farmers in South Africa were interviewed about nutrient circulation. Grass production can be doubled within high-intensity grazing systems, allowing farmers to feed more animals from the same area,” says Ernest Makua from @unisa /@redmeatsa

Can more circular farming systems mitigate GHG emissions while simultaneously improving the economic and environmental performance of agriculture? @ffion_evanss from @BangorUni aim to answer this question in her #PhD. She recently gave a lecture at @NIBIO_no in #Ås #Norway

Researchers have assessed the cost-benefit and #GHGemission reductions of #climatesmart management interventions on 816 dairy farms in #Kenya. Paper accepted for publication in Journal of Clearer Production.

Researchers at @LaStatale use machine learning to combine information from optical and radar satellite imagery with topographic data. Creating detailed land-cover maps identifying vegetation and productivity-related pasture types, and changes.👉

Interesting blog post about drone flying at @Mazingira_ILRI 👏The tests are part of a bigger effort under CircAgric-GHG to collect data about ruminant methane emission measurements across different climates and environments: Germany, Kenya and Norway.👉

Researchers have assessed the carbon footprints 🌍👣of dairy farms🐄 in 5 European countries. Farm management practices explained up to 79% of the variation in carbon footprints, which implies potential for lowering emissions. 👉

Pasture 🐑🌿can reduce carbon footprint 🌍👣 from sheep production by almost one third. Transhumant sheep systems, both by foot 🚶‍♂️ and lorry 🚛, achieve relatively low carbon footprint, compared to sedentary farms. 👉 @PabloPastos @gpardoBC3 @AgusBC3

On the Solohead Research Farm in Ireland, @teagasc Livestock Systems are testing systems of pasture-based dairy production🐄 with minimal external inputs, and as much internal circularity ♻���as possible. 🔗.#agriculture #sustainability #circulareconomy

NIBIO Tjøtta has acquired a new technologically advanced experimental barn for small livestock. The new facilities will make the research station on the Helgeland coast a leader in applied sheep research within climate, feeding, behavior, and precision livestock farming.

Adding bakery by-products as a feed ingredient to lactating cows’ diet may increase milk production and lower global warming potential on farm level. Case study from @LaStatale #Sustainability #DairyFarming #ClimateAction #circulareconomy

Workshops with norwegian farmers about circular agriculture:.💚A healthy farm economy is essential. 💚Solutions tailored to individual farms. 💚Recognize knowledge/efforts of the farmers. 💚Holistic policy instruments/support. 💚Recognize conflicting dilemmas climate/environment.

Researchers from @UniOslo used drones to measure methane and CO2 from the 60-70 cows inside the barn at @NIBIO_no Tjøtta, + on ground wind strength/direction. The big question: is it possible to measure emissions like this, or is it still necessary to measure individually 🤔
