Climate Change and Livestock Production
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science and Agriculture Research - Year 2023, Vol 2, Issue 12
Abstract
Raising the global problem of climate change is important, due to the social and economic repercussions on the world population and natural resources. Understanding and knowing the logic of climate change and its repercussions, as well as socializing this knowledge, is vital to raising awareness of the need for a cultural change in the ways of producing and living in society. Climate change is a product, mainly, of high emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHG), emitted in the productive and social activities of human beings. To properly understand this global problem, we begin with the approaches, diagnoses, evaluations and reports of the UN, ECLAC, FAO, WHO, WHOSA, among others; whose assessments and estimates have been oriented towards the low effectiveness of mitigation actions; The temperature on the planet has increased almost 0.18°C each year since 1981. At the national level, the reports of the Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) were analyzed, named “Updating the National Inventory of Gas Emissions and Greenhouse Compounds, 1990-2019”; and the report prepared by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), called “The State and Perspectives of Climate Change in Mexico: a Starting Point”; as well as the temperature reports from the National Water Commission (CONAGUA) and the National Meteorological Service (SMN), which coincided in the progressive increase in temperature in Mexico. Livestock farming is part of this problem, at the same time it suffers the consequences of global warming. It emits just over 14% of GHGs and suffers the consequences, mainly droughts, causing a high mortality of livestock, particularly in the north of the country, which could cause a lower supply of foods of animal origin that would threaten food security.
