GRA AHN Workshop
The GRA Animal Health & Greenhouse Gas Emissions Intensity Network (AHN) focuses on the interplay between animal health and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from a systemic perspective. AHN aims to gather researchers, governments, non-governmental organizations, and the private sector to: Discuss and find inter-disciplinary approaches to understand and tackle the impacts of climate change on animal health and the impacts of animal health on the environment.Advance the process of integrating animal health interventions to policy settings. Workshop participants will: Have…

GRA MMN Meeting
The GRA Manure Management Network (MMN) is a global forum for scientists focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from livestock production and increasing the nutrient use efficiency of manures. Manure management is the handling, storage and disposal of urine and feces from livestock, other than the manure deposited directly onto pastures by grazing animals. MMN areas of research interest include: Improving our understanding of drivers of greenhouse gas emissions from manuresDeveloping a directory of mitigation strategies that can be applied…

Webinar: Methane emissions from manure management – monitoring and mitigation
In this webinar, Anne Mottet (FAO), Dong Hongmin (Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences) and Andrew Vanderzaag (Agriculture & AgriFood Canada) will first present global trends in livestock production and methane emissions, and discuss methods of monitoring, mitigation and accounting. A new approach for estimation of methane emissions from manure management via measurements and an empirical model will then be introduced. This methodology was investigated in the ERA-Net project M4Models and will be presented by Søren O. Petersen and Paria Seefedpari.

Webinar : Leading With Livestock: Integrating Agricultural Methane Mitigation Into NDCs 3.0
As countries prepare to enhance their NDCs under the Paris Agreement, addressing non-CO₂ pollutants—including methane, black carbon, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and N₂O—is essential for enhancing ambition. Clear goals and ambitious measures to reduce non-CO₂ pollutants can achieve immediate climate benefits while also improving air quality, public health, and sustainable development. Drawing from the CCAC’s Guidance for Including Non-CO₂ Pollutants in NDCs, this series offers actionable insights on how to integrate mitigation and adaptation strategies in NDCs that are ambitious, bankable, and measurable.…

Webinar – BNI Flagship : Key driving genetic, environment and management factors that influence nitrous oxide mitigation in tropical and temperate crops
This webinar presents the findings of a global meta-analysis examining the factors that regulate the effectiveness of biological nitrification inhibition (BNI) in reducing nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from agricultural systems. BNI is a plant-mediated process in which certain metabolites inhibit soil nitrifying microorganisms, slowing the conversion of ammonium to nitrate and potentially reducing N₂O emissions. By synthesizing results from 23 published studies, this analysis evaluates the influence of genetic, environmental, and management factors on cumulative N₂O emission reduction. The results highlight…
