Global concerns about agriculture’s impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly methane emissions from livestock enteric fermentation, demand effective solutions. CarbonSECO for Livestock extends the CarbonSECO platform, focusing on quantifying, monitoring, and controlling carbon emissions from livestock enteric fermentation. This platform integrates intelligent techniques, including ontologies and machine learning, to provide emissions management solutions for assessing and managing the environmental impact of livestock farming.
The platform aims to assist in carbon emission decisions, particularly in Brazilian rural areas, by offering tools to quantify emissions, and support decision-making processes. A feasibility study using data from an intelligent farm demonstrates the platform’s capability to predict and assess changes for carbon emission reduction, promoting sustainable livestock farming practices.
Quantification of Emissions: Accurately measure methane emissions from livestock enteric fermentation.
Monitoring Tools: Real-time tracking and monitoring of emissions.
Decision Support: Tools to aid in making informed decisions regarding emissions management.
Sustainability: Promote sustainable livestock farming practices.
