Cover Story
Carbon emission reduction and carbon neutrality have become the global concern. Livestock and poultry manure is an important emission source of non-CO2 high-strength GHGs, such as N2O and CH4. Modern livestock and poultry production driven by population growth and society development accounts one third carbon emission in China’s agriculture. Excavating its carbon reduction potential is as important as resources recycling and valorization for manure management. Carbon reduction is associate with every stage of manure management including collection, storage and resource utilization. The primary step to avoid GHGs emission is identification of factors impacting carbon emission from livestock manure management system. Developing methodologies accounting carbon emission and carbon footprint is the crucial prerequisite for carbon trade and carbon asset management. The encouragement and effort from the public, government and society can boost the development manure management in China towards carbon neutrality.
