Expansion of agricultural acreage by land clearing is a major source of GHG emissions, and one of the largest contributors to global warming. ![]() Currently, the livestock sector uses about 70% of all agricultural land, and is responsible for about 15% of the total emission of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG).
