    “Reducing enteric methane for improving food security and livelihoods” is a collaboration between the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the New Zealand Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Research Centre (NZAGRC). The project is funded by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, the FAO, and the New Zealand Government through its support of the Livestock Research Group (LRG) of the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases (GRA). The project supports 13 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Latin America to identify system-specific technologies and interventions to increase livestock productivity, food security and reduced enteric methane emissions per unit of product. The project seeks to provide guidance to decision-makers engaged in the policy discourse on instruments/mechanisms, recommendations on incentives and institutional framework necessary to incentivize adoption of productivity-enhancing technologies and practices. This report highlights the achievements of the project from 2015 to 2017 and upcoming activities.
