Assessing the eco-efficiency of different poultry production systems: an approach using life cycle assessment and economic value added
Gabrielli do Carmo Martinelli,Everton Vogel,Michel Decian,Maycon Jorge Ulisses Saraiva Farinha,Luciana Virginia Mario Bernardo,João Augusto Rossi Borges,Régio Marcio Toesca Gimenes,Rodrigo Garófallo Garcia,Clandio Favarini Ruviaro +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the eco-efficiency of poultry production systems, namely positive pressure, dark house, and organic systems, in the South region of Brazil, considering the functional unit of one kg of live chicken ready for slaughter, specifically from the cradle to farm gate.

Does grazing management provide opportunities to mitigate methane emissions by ruminants in pastoral ecosystems
Angel Sánchez Zubieta,Jean Victor Savian,William de Souza Filho,Marcelo Wallau,Alejandra Marín Gómez,Jérôme Bindelle,Olivier Jean François Bonnet,Paulo César de Faccio Carvalho +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that optimizing LW gain of grazing sheep and cattle to a threshold of 0.14 and 0.7 kg/day would dramatically reduce CH4 intensity, which could represent a mitigation potential of around 55% for livestock commodities in pasture-based systems.

Community-based seasonal movement grazing maintains lower greenhouse gas emission intensity on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau of China
TL;DR: In this paper, two case study sites representing two different forms of rangeland management systems in Ruoergai county of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were selected to examine the differences in greenhouse gas emission intensity between the two systems using life cycle assessment (LCA).

Sustainability in the Brazilian pampa biome: A composite index to integrate beef production, social equity, and ecosystem conservation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a composite index to evaluate areas of tension based on the concepts of sustainability and efficient beef cattle farming for natural grasslands of the Pampa biome (PB) in Brazil.

Access to land, livestock production and ecosystem conservation in the Brazilian Campos biome: The natural grasslands dilemma
TL;DR: There is a need for adapting access to land legislations to the new environmental functions expected for natural grasslands, which warrant a conservation-oriented approach according to their multifunctional role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life cycle assessment of beef cattle production in two typical grassland systems of southern Brazil
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the main environmental impacts of two typical beef cattle production systems from southern Brazil, namely the extensive system (ES) and the improved system (IS), and identified the components that have the greatest environmental impacts using the life cycle assessment method.

Life cycle assessment in Brazilian agriculture facing worldwide trends
Clandio Favarini Ruviaro,Miguelangelo Gianezini,Fernanda Scharnberg Brandão,César Augustus Winck,César Augustus Winck,Homero Dewes +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the results of a search for scientific literature and government documents regarding the application of LCA to agricultural products worldwide, as a way to capture state-of-the-art technology in the field and to identify the trends and drivers for labeling and certification requirements in international markets.

TL;DR: In this paper, Monte Carlo analysis was employed to analyse the effect of variations of dry matter intake digestibility (DMID), total digestible nutrients (TDN) and crude protein (CP) parameters in methane (CH 4 ) enteric, CH4 manure, nitrous oxide (N2O) manure and N2O N-fertiliser.

Agricultural land use change in the Brazilian Pampa Biome: The reduction of natural grasslands
Tamara Esteves de Oliveira,David Santos de Freitas,Miguelangelo Gianezini,Clandio Favarini Ruviaro,Daniele Zago,Thomaz Zara Mércio,Eduardo Antunes Dias,Vinícius do Nascimento Lampert,Júlio Otávio Jardim Barcellos +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the land use changes and its conjectural drivers in the Brazilian Pampa Biome and found that there has been a 26% decrease in natural pastures in the Pampa biome since 1975, with a negative growth of −12.5% between 1975 and 1985.
