O cenário de mudanças climáticas e produção bovina na mesorregião do Triângulo Mineiro

Abstract

The study aims to estimate methane emissions from enteric fermentation in the Triângulo Mineiro region and discuss their relationships with climate and the environment, considering the global context of climate change and the increase in cattle farming. The research covers the historical trajectory of livestock farming, the geographical characterization of the Triângulo Mineiro, the relevance of methane, and the impact of climate change. The methodology used for quantifying emissions allows for a detailed analysis of environmental impacts, balancing the economic importance of cattle farming with the urgency of environmental mitigation. The study concludes with sustainable mitigation proposals for cattle production in the region, hoping to contribute to an understanding of how our dietary choices can help address environmental issues, making this an urgent discussion within the environmental and social spheres.
