ATF webinar: Policy Brief on agricultural methane

A webinar was organised on 06 November 2023 to introduce the ATF Policy Brief on agricultural methane.

Two events were organised by the ATF in 2022 concerning agricultural greenhouse gas emissions, notably methane: a joint symposium organised by the ATF and the Livestock Farming Systems Commission of the European Federation of Animal Science in Porto (05/09/22), and the ATF seminar organised in Brussels (17/11/22). These events made it possible to take stock of the latest advances in knowledge concerning agricultural methane emissions from the livestock sector, and possibilities for reducing these emissions. These events created a dialogue between scientists, policy makers, farmers and industry representatives.

This policy brief draws on the presentations from those two events, the IPCC 6th Assessment Report published in 3 volumes in 2021 and 2022, and the EU Methane Strategy.
