Research
Alan Duncan, project lead for Jameel Observatory for Food Security Early Action, co-authored a report following a study about seasonal livestock feed availability and its impact on greenhouse gas emissions in Kenya. From the papers abstract: 'Livestock contribute significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, mainly through enteric fermentation and manure management. Feed composition plays a crucial role in both livestock diet quality and emissions. However, feed availability varies seasonally particularly in tropical environments such as Kenya with long dry periods. This study investigated the influence of seasonal feed variations and relative availability of feed types in Kenya on livestock diet quality and enteric methane (CH4) emissions.'
