Although research on animal production and climate is growing, implementation in the field remains challenging
Climate change is reshaping global livestock production systems and leading to increased research on the topic. However, science still faces the challenge of translating advances in knowledge into practical solutions for the field and public policy. This is one of the main conclusions of a study published in the journal Tropical Animal Health and Production by researchers from the Luiz de Queiroz…
Although research on animal production and climate change is growing, with a 9.5% annual increase in publications since 1974, implementation in the field remains a challenge. A study published in Tropical Animal Health and Production found that while there has been a rise in interdisciplinarity, methodological sophistication, and new agendas focused on sustainability, adaptation, resilience, and animal welfare, the biggest gap is between science and practice.
The authors suggest that translating advances in knowledge into practical solutions requires inclusive governance, regionalized solutions, and access to new production systems for small-scale producers.
