Synopsis (short abstract) The Livestock Activity Data Guidance (L-ADG) provides practical methods for countries to estimate the activity data used to compile livestock GHG inventories using the IPCC Tier 2 approach. The purpose is to support countries to improve the accuracy of the livestock emission estimates in national GHG inventories, and thus enable countries to measure and report progress towards their NDCs.

    The FAO Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM) is a modelling framework that simulates the interactions between livestock production activities and the environment. By quantifying production and the use of natural resources in the livestock sector, GLEAM serves as a crucial tool for policymakers to assess the environmental impacts of livestock supply chains and to identify adaptation and mitigation interventions. This document summarizes and presents highlights and pbjectives of the project "GLEAM-X: web application to support thesustainable transformation towards low carbon livestock", implemented by FAO and founded by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture of Germany,

    Livestock statistics made available in FAOSTAT offer valuable information on livestock numbers and production, provided by FAO by country and over a long period. This data is used by the academic community to estimate relevant environmental statistics and indicators, including the availability and use of livestock manure and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Such information is key to help designing and implementing sustainable agricultural practices. The estimates of livestock manure are computed and disseminated in FAOSTAT by livestock type, by country, and in regional aggregates, for the period 1961–2018.
