NARRATIVE REPORT ON INTERNATIONAL SIMPOSIUM PERSPECTIVES ON<br />
GLOBAL WARMING AND LIVESTOCK IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES OF<br />
LATINAMERICA<br />
Carlos A. Gómez, PhD<br />
Coordinador, Facultad Zootecnia UNA La Molina, Perú<br />
1. Appetizer<br />
Livestock c<strong>on</strong>tribute to global warming worldwide. As well, the negative impact of global<br />
warming will be more pr<strong>on</strong>ounced <strong>on</strong> livestock of small producers in developing countries. This<br />
situati<strong>on</strong> requires mitigati<strong>on</strong> and adaptati<strong>on</strong> strategies that will c<strong>on</strong>sider biological, ec<strong>on</strong>omic<br />
and social aspects. This topics was included in this “Global warming and livestock” symposium.<br />
The internati<strong>on</strong>al symposium was c<strong>on</strong>ducted as requested by <strong>DDRN</strong> with participati<strong>on</strong> of<br />
internati<strong>on</strong>al and nati<strong>on</strong>al speakers. Support from the Doctoral Programs of our University<br />
(Animal Science/Ec<strong>on</strong>omy of natural resources) was a key element for completing it<br />
adequately with regards to both ec<strong>on</strong>omic and technical aspects of the event.<br />
2. Objectives of the Symposium<br />
• Review informati<strong>on</strong> about the linkage between Global warming and livestock in<br />
different countries of Latin America.<br />
• To define the more promising strategies for mitigati<strong>on</strong> and adaptati<strong>on</strong> of the effects of<br />
global warming <strong>on</strong> livestock.<br />
3. Key issues from presentati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
Under the c<strong>on</strong>text of Latin‐American the following were the main issues.<br />
‐ Difficulties to estimate of methane and nitrous oxide emissi<strong>on</strong>s from livestock<br />
‐ Relevance of Life cycle assessment of dairy and meat producti<strong>on</strong><br />
‐ Actual knowledge and practices of different strategies for reducti<strong>on</strong> of emissi<strong>on</strong>s from<br />
livestock systems<br />
‐ Implementati<strong>on</strong> of Agro forestry systems to improve sustainability of cattle producti<strong>on</strong><br />
‐ Estimates <strong>on</strong> the effects of global warming <strong>on</strong> livestock<br />
‐ Mitigati<strong>on</strong> and adaptati<strong>on</strong> strategies to overcome the impact of global warming <strong>on</strong><br />
livestock
‐ Ec<strong>on</strong>omic impact of global warming <strong>on</strong> livestock and agriculture<br />
‐ Carb<strong>on</strong> markets and envir<strong>on</strong>mental improvement of livestock producti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
4. Summary of c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s<br />
Under the c<strong>on</strong>text of Latin‐American the following were the main c<strong>on</strong>clusi<strong>on</strong>s:<br />
‐ There are variable levels of precisi<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> estimates of methane and nitrous oxide<br />
emissi<strong>on</strong>s from livestock in Latin‐American. Specific research is needed in order to<br />
improve precisi<strong>on</strong> based <strong>on</strong> the characteristics of prevalent livestock systems in the<br />
area.<br />
‐ Approaches like Life Cycle Assessment have been little applied in livestock system<br />
which will improve our understanding of emissi<strong>on</strong>s from those systems.<br />
‐ Different strategies are available for reducing emissi<strong>on</strong> from livestock, which will need<br />
to be c<strong>on</strong>sidered specifically to each site based <strong>on</strong> ec<strong>on</strong>omic and biological aspects.<br />
‐ Adaptati<strong>on</strong> and mitigati<strong>on</strong> interventi<strong>on</strong>s for the effect of global warming <strong>on</strong> livestock<br />
require better support from research to be effective and viable.<br />
5. Issues for follow up<br />
Nati<strong>on</strong>al: The symposium allowed interacti<strong>on</strong> about staff of universities; NG0s and<br />
government interested <strong>on</strong> the relati<strong>on</strong> of global warming and livestock. This will need to be<br />
strengthened around specific projects.<br />
Internati<strong>on</strong>al: Interacti<strong>on</strong> am<strong>on</strong>g researchers from different countries has been the beginning<br />
point for further research/development activities. Initial planning for a web internati<strong>on</strong>al short<br />
course <strong>on</strong> “Livestock and global warming” was discussed.
