This report presents results from a life cycle assessment (LCA) that studied greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions along livestock supply chains. The Global Livestock Environmental Assessment Model (GLEAM) was used in the assessment. This assessment determined that emissions produced by pig and chicken supply chains are relatively low. Mitigation of GHG emissions should focus on reductions in emission intensity regarding scale and rate of growth of these two sectors.
