Positive perception (livestock)

Agriculture comes in all forms including livestock keeping which plays a major role in food production in Africa.Livestock has mostly been perceived in the negative when it comes to climate change. This form of agriculture has employed many people of all ages and genders and has helped improve the economy of countries and their health too.In meetings that are held on biological diversity, they should try see livestock in a new light, not just a destruction.
Climate policies must not write off livestock

Climate policies must not write off livestock

Cattle when grazed sustainably can be part of climate action and help vulnerable populations build resilience.

      In as much as livestock does bring about pollution due to the production of methane they also do have their positives.

        It is important to recognize the positive impacts of livestock on food production and economies in Africa, promoting a balanced perspective that includes their role in biodiversity discussions.

          The impact of mass beef and dairy production on the environment and public health cannot be ignored. It's essential to consider more sustainable and health-conscious alternatives to meet global food demands.

            Coming from a "grass fed" beef producing country - grazing cattle for consumption within your own country is very different to mass producing beef for global consumption. Cattle have a role to play in management of habitats but beef and dairy use more water and grain to produce then the food (protein) we get in return compared to plants. Farming large numbers of cattle produces volumes of methane and pollute our waterways with nitrates. 75% of the world's population are lactose intolerant, beef and red meat are not good for our health. It's time to cut down on cattle based products.

                @annett_michuki sorry but they are not crucial.. Cattle in small numbers benefit habitats but are not crucial to people.
