📋 Tender Overview
This Thursday (13), the panel Livestock Waste as a Climate Solution: Policies, Technologies and Cooperation in Methane Reduction brought together experts from several countries to discuss viable mitigation paths.
At the meeting, federal agricultural tax auditor Sidney Medeiros, representative of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), highlighted that Brazil brings together more than 15 years of experience accumulated by the ABC+ Plan, transforming the topic into a solid front for reducing emissions. We have consistent results applied to rural properties of various profiles. This allows us to share solutions with countries facing similar challenges, especially in the Global South, he stated.
One of the central points of the panel was the launch of the guide Animal Production Waste Management for Methane Mitigation: Brazils Contribution to Global Climate Action, prepared with the participation of Mapa, Embrapa Swine and Poultry, Instituto 17 and Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC). The material presents practices, technologies and recommendations that can guide state policies and support national strategies of other countries interested in reducing emissions.
For Medeiros, the document meets an important demand for organizing technical knowledge. The guide brings together our experience in an accessible and applicable format. It is a tool to support strategic decisions, strengthen local policies and inspire international initiatives aimed at tropical agriculture, he added.
The debate featured the participation of Anita Nana Okuribido, president of the Nigerian Association of Women in Renewable Energy; Gustavo Mozzer and Airton Kunz, from Embrapa; and Semida Silveira, from Cornell University. The moderation was led by Alessandro Sanches, from Instituto 17. Participants presented initiatives that combine research, innovation and institutional coordination to expand the use of biodigesters, improve energy use and structure management systems that reduce emissions without compromising productivity.
