X, S. (2023, January 12). Cutting costs and emissions in beef production. Phys.org. Retrieved February 7, 2023, from https://phys.org/news/2023-01-emissions-beef-production.html 

This article is about the research of the University of Queensland developing a tool to lower the cost and emissions from beef production while keeping the demand for beef. C. Castonguay from UQ’s School of Veterinary Science states that 85 % of emissions can be cut out of the equation without majorly affecting the economy. Castonguay states that this can be achieved by ”opting for more efficient feeds and locations, and restoring forests in inefficient areas, without increasing global costs of production.” Meaning that if we change our feed to a more healthy source of food and plant more trees and use3 locations that thrive in nutrients to farm on greenhouse gasses can be cut by 85% in the beef sector. 

This article is important because it not only relates to greenhouse emissions from a big producer but it also shows a plan to keep the same amount of meat being produced while lowering emissions. Meaning that we can produce the same amount of meat while cutting out a lot of the greenhouse gas emissions. It stated in the article from C.Castonguay, a graduate from Queensland university in veterinary science, that changing our feed and relocating to areas that have a lot of nutrients can help the production of meat while keeping emissions low.
