Green Fact

Animal agriculture contributes to climate change in various ways, though primarily through methane and carbon dioxide emissions, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. Methane emissions are caused by ruminant animals (cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats); while carbon dioxide emissions, deforestation, and biodiversity loss are caused when forest areas are cleared for feed production or pastures.
