The assessment is part of an ongoing research programme to assess the environmental implications of animal food chains, and to analyse and recommend improvement options. The immediate next step for the FAO is to use a similar approach to quantify the GHG emissions associated with specialised beef cattle and other major livestock species including buffalo, poultry, small ruminants and pigs. The LCA takes into account the following: From cradle to farm gate Read Resource Study: crops for food or biofuels? This is a interesting paper from the perspectives both of the food vs biofuel debate and biofuels vs livestock. The paper finds that it is much more energy-efficient to grow grain for human food than for ethanol, which is best produced with grasses.
