| Popis: | The article starts from the fact that Livestock Production is generating large amounts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions, setting the sector at the heart of Climate Change and Global Warming debate. With CO2 emissions (and equivalents) in the order of 7.1 gigatonnes a year, Livestock Farming represents 14.5% of the world emissions of Greenhouse Gases from anthropic activities. Reduction of meat consumption, improvement of productivity and reduction of risks are presented as a strategy of avoiding or preventing damages. Brazilian Mechanisms adopted in Brazil are part of the solution. The article aims to demonstrate that all the necessary measures to avoid the environmental disaster claim to an ethical post-humanist and a Global Strategy, overruling the individualism and nationalism. |
