There are two interconnected and significant issues: tropical livestock farming and environmental concerns. Tropical livestock farming is a vital sector that provides food and livelihoods to communities in tropical regions. However, we must not overlook the impacts it has on the environment.

In recent years, we have witnessed the undeniable reality of climate change. Unstable weather patterns, severe droughts, and devastating floods have become more frequent. One of the contributing factors to climate change is the greenhouse gas emissions generated by the livestock sector, such as methane emissions from animal digestion and poorly managed livestock waste. We must acknowledge that tropical livestock farming also plays a role in these emissions.
