This report by FAIRR, a network of investors concerned about livestock risks, provides a framework for investors to identify and assess mitigation strategies in livestock. Investors with exposure to livestock companies need to focus on climate and nature solutions, but there is a lack of clarity on the solutions that exist, their effectiveness and the business case.

This study evaluates the carbon opportunity intensity, the trade-off between carbon sequestration benefits of removing livestock from pasture and the decrease of meat, dairy and fibres produced. The authors find removing beef-producing cattle from high carbon intensity pastures could remove an amount of emissions higher than the annual consumption of fossil fuels while reducing 9-18% of beef.
