The CaSSECS (Carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions in (agro) Silvopastoral ECosystems in the Sahelian States) project was set up to change the view of the negative impact of (agro)pastoral livestock on the environment. Indeed, the (agro)pastoral livestock systems affected by climate change are little considered and even threatened. They are indexed as significant GHG emitters, mainly due to insufficient data, reference systems and reliable scientific and technical skills.
MIPCLAN (Mitigation Practices for low-carbon livestock in sub-saharan Africa-research network-Living Lab) aims to develop and implement sustainable, low-carbon livestock practices through collaborative research and stakeholder engagement. By utilizing the Living Lab approach, MiPCLAN fosters innovation and practical solutions to mitigate methane emissions while enhancing livestock sustainability and productivity in sub-Saharan Africa.
Metheix project seeks to bring together, on a global scale, data from publications that have studied the diet of ruminants and its impact on milk or meat production, as well as the various measurements made during feed digestion, such as methane emissions.
